BJP slams Congress, Left for reservation to Muslims
New Delhi: Welcoming Andhra Pradesh High Court order quashing 5 per cent reservation for Muslims in jobs, the BJP on on Monday said Congress had tried to fool the minority community for vote-bank politics.
The main opposition party also condemned the West Bengal government for toeing the Congress line on the issue.
"BJP welcomes the High Court decision. The act of the Andhra Pradesh government was against the Constitution and politically motivated. The Congress government in the state has breached the sanctity of the Constitution," the party spokesperson, Mr Prakash Javadekar said.
He asserted that the Congress had tried to fool the Muslims by giving them reservation on religious lines. "We hope Muslims will also understand how Congress tries to fool them."
Arguing that his party stood for reservation on the basis of social and economic backwardness, the Rajya Sabha MP maintained that the erstwhile BJP government in Rajasthan had used economic backwardness as a criteria to give reservation to the people.
Mr Javadekar said now even the West Bengal government was toeing the Congress line by giving reservations to Muslims.
Insisting that such policies of the Communists were responsible for their current dismal state, he said, "They are also toeing the Congress line on reservation for Muslims. We condemn both parties."
The West Bengal government today announced 10 per cent quota in jobs for socially, educationally and economically backward Muslims under OBC category.

I have a question from BJP, why they are agianst the development of Indian Muslims? Why they always want to compress this community? BJP should think about the backward classes of all religions and extend its support to uplift them irrespective of religion. BJP - please do not oppose the reservations to the backward classes of Indian Muslim community. You should realise that everybody who has reservations in India, follow a religion, similarly this community also follows a religion. Why discriminate or try to compress this community only?
Finally, One good decision has been taken by AP High court. Reservation to anybody based on Caste, community or relegion should not be allowed. These are being used for selfish political interests and lead to disintegration of the country.
Poverty is the cause of all these troubles. Political, legal and executive branches of Indian Constitution has to change in such a way that,
1. no person should be in any elected public post for more than two terms in life time
2. Though property right is legal, it has inheritancy. Right to inherit should be taken away or there should at least 50% of tax on transfer to heir.
3. Any illegal property with no appropriate document should be taken over by Govt.
4. No political/non-political association should be either associated with caste, community or religion. All should be banned and their assets should be confiscated.
Without this India will never progress and will disintegrate in to 350 small countries and again all Indians will becomes slaves.
Good luck
