The ongoing controversy over Muslim reservation in Bharat has been further intensified by Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Lalu Prasad Yadav’s recent call for full reservation for the Muslim community.
The statement triggered a strong response from Prime Minister Modi, who reiterated his commitment to safeguarding the reservation quotas for Dalits, Adivasis, and OBCs, emphasizing that these quotas should not be allocated to Muslims based solely on religious grounds.
On the other hand, BJP has accused the INDI alliance of engaging in vote-bank politics by advocating for Muslim reservation, heightening tensions surrounding the issue. Attacking on Lalu Prasad Yadav, PM Modi said that the ones who are out on bail after committing scams are advocating for religion-based reservation.
PM Modi alleged that the INDI alliance plans to snatch away the quota benefits of groups including Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes. Congress is silent but today one of its allies confirmed the intentions of the INDI alliance’.
‘Their leader was in jail in connection with the fodder scam and has been punished by the court. He said that Muslims should get reservations and not just reservations, he says that Muslims should get complete reservations. What does this mean? These people want to snatch away all the reservation that SC, ST and OBC community have and give complete reservation to Muslims’, said PM Modi while addressing a rally in Madhya Pradesh’s Dhar.
During his rally, PM Modi alleged that Congress wanted to snatch the credit of Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar. He also added that no one can change the Constitution of India.
