Beary Parishath urges state govt to increase income ceiling for OBC

Mangalore, March 18: Akhila Bharatha Beary Parishath has urged the state government to revise the income ceiling for creamy layer for Backward Classes (OBC) under the reservation criteria.


Addressing media persons at Press Club here on Friday, BA Muhammad Haneef, Working President of the Parishath said that the Union government raised the income ceiling for creamy layer from Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 4.5 lakh annually for OBCs. However, the state government has limited it to Rs 2 lakh. “This move of the state government is unjust and illegal,” he said, adding that the state government should also raise the limit on par with the centre.


He said union government had given OBC reservation quota in the year 1999 for “Other Muslims” other than nine communities among Muslims such as Kachi Meman, Navayath, Bohra, Sayyid, Shekh, Pathan, Mughal, Mahdaviya and Konkani or Zamayathi Muslims. However, in Dakshina Kannada where Bearys comprise of more than 80% of the Muslim population, have been deprived of this benefit due to negligence and reluctance of Tahasildars. Tahasildars in the district deliberately do not give the OBC Certificate to the Beary Muslims and others, he said.
“There is no software in 'Nemmadi Kendra' in this regard,” he added.


Reservation in Local body


Former Mayor K Ashraf, who is the Vice President of the Parishath said though the state government is giving reservation in local body elections, it has deceived Muslims by including them in 2A category.


“This attitude of the government may cause to reduce the representation of Muslims in the local civic bodies such as Corporation, Gram Panchayat, Taluk Panchayat and Zilla Panchayat,” he said.


He demanded the government to categorize Muslims into a separate group and give 4% of reservation in the local bodies.


“We have submitted memorandums to Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa, Governor and Deputy Commissioner in this regard”, he informed.


Abdul Majeed Sooralpady, President of the Parishath, Muhammad Kunjathbail, General Secretary, Abdul Azeez Baikampady, Advisor and Abdul Khader Idma were present at the press meet.
