Muslims stage protest for 10% exclusive quota

Chennai:
Urging the Union government to provide 10 per cent quota for Muslims
in employment and educational opportunities, the Tamil Nadu
Thowheedh Jamaath (TNTJ) led by its founder P Jainul Abideen took
out a huge rally and held a conference here on Sunday.
The rally witnessed participation of tens of hundreds of women
besides thousands of men and youths. It began from Pallavan House on
Anna Salai and ended at Island Grounds, the conference venue.
Citing the reports of Justice Rajendra Sachar and Ranganath Mishra
Commissions, the conference said Muslims have been deprived of their
rightful share in education and employment. The meet urged the
Centre to provide 10 per cent exclusive quota for Muslims in
employment in the Central and state governments besides the public
and private sector organisations.
It also demanded the Centre to provide 10 per cent reservation for
Muslims in all educational institutions including the centres of
excellence like the Indian Institutes of Technology and the Indian
Institutes of Managements.
Through a resolution, the meet appealed to the Centre to reserve 20
per cent of the posts for Muslims in the State police forces,
intelligence agencies, Central Reserve Police Force, Border Security
Force and the armed forces. Setting up of Muslim varsities, 10 per
cent quota in the government welfare schemes were among the other
demands.
"The representation of Muslims in both the Houses of Parliament and
in State legislatures has been dwindling and 10 per cent of the
constituencies should be reserved in the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha,
State legislative assemblies and councils besides providing the same
percentage of quota in all local bodies exclusively for Muslims,"
another resolution adopted by the Tamil Nadu Thowheedh Jamaath said.
Urging Chief Minister M Karunanidhi to increase the present
exclusive reservation for Muslims in the State to seven per cent,
the conference also appealed to him to use his good offices to
persuade the Centre to implement the Ranganath Mishra Commission
report.
