ADILABAD: The Muslim Minorities Joint Action Committee of Adilabad on Friday demanded that state government lock 12 per cent state government jobs and also constitute a commission on Backward Classes immediately. The JAC said that minorities deserved reservations as they lag behind all other communities.
JAC members, led by Amir Ali Khan, news editor, Siasat, submitted a memorandum to minister for Backward Classes welfare Jogu Ramanna, asking him to constitute a panel to study the socio economic conditions of BCs along with Muslim Minorities.
They asked the minister to lock 12 per cent jobs so that they are filled by Muslims otherwise they will lose a golden opportunity, at a time the state government is filling vacancies on a large scale. Muslim community leaders and leaders of all major political parties later participated in a rally over the issue.
