Indian body recommends 10% quota for Muslims in govt jobs
NEW DELHI: Indian National Commission for Religious and Linguistic Minorities has recommended a 10 percent quota for Muslims in all government jobs. The commission’s report, headed by former chief justice Rangnath Mishra, was tabled by Minority Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid in the Lok Sabha on Friday. The commission said a 10 percent quota should be reserved for Muslims and five percent for other minorities in central and state government jobs in all cadre and grades. The other recommendations include delinking of Scheduled Caste (SC) status from religion and abrogation of the 1950 Scheduled Caste Order, which “still excludes Muslims, Christians, Jains and Parsis from the SC net”. The order originally restricted the SC status to Hindus only but was later opened to Buddhists and Sikhs. app
