Reservation row: Muslim League condemns Eshwarappa's remarks

March 3, 2012

Mangalore, March 3: By stating that grant of reservation for Muslims will result in bloodshed, BJP State President K S Eshwarappa is trying to divide people on communal lines in order to gain mileage in Udupi-Chikmagalur by-polls, alleged Mr. C Ahmed Jamal, Secretary, DK District Committee, Indian Muslim League.

He was addressing media persons at the Press Club in the city on Friday.

Representatives of the League said that Mr. Eshwarappa, who himself is from a backward class community, has failed to understand the constitution of India.

The League, in its press statement has stated that by granting 4% reservation to Muslims within the 27% reservation quota, no injustice would be done to other communities as they would still have 23% of reservations for them. Many commissions have recommended reservation for Muslims to the government. Commissions formed by the union government such as the Justice Mandal Commission, Justice Sachar Commission, Justice Ranganath Mishra Commission etc have recommended reservations for Muslims after studying the social, economic, and educational condition of Muslims in India. Similarly, in Karnataka Justice Chinnappa Reddy Commission, Havanur Commission, Goodwala Commission etc have also recommended reservations for Muslims. Besides, the architect of Indian constitution Dr B R Ambedkar and Chairman of the Sub-Committee for Reservations in Constitution Vallabhai Patel too had recommended reservations for Muslims under the reservation quota of backward classes.

Out of the total reservation quota, 22% is meant for Harijans. Even if 4% of reservation out of the prescribed 27% is kept for Muslims, the rest of the 23% will still belong to the Hindus. The other 51% has also been given to the Hindus. Not even 0.001% has been given to Musilms. All Commissions who made this study knew this fact and therefore recommended reservation for Muslims who are the biggest among the minority communities of India, the press statement further states.

If Mr. Eshwarappa does not apologise for the remarks he made against Muslims, the Muslim League will take to streets and hold protests, Mr. Ahmed Jamal warned.

Bengaluru, Feb 4: The CBI has booked Karnataka cadre senior IPS officers Hemant Nimbalkar and Ajay Hilori along with eight others in connection with Rs 4,000-crore I-Monetary Advisory (IMA) scam in which gullible investors were allegedly cheated in the name of Islamic banking, officials said on Tuesday.

The move came after the CBI received an approval from the Karnataka government to proceed with investigation into alleged role of 1998-batch IPS officer Nimbalkar and 2008-batch IPS officer Hilori, they said.

Along with the two officers, the agency has also named the company IMA, its founder Mansoor Khan and others in the case.

The CBI had approached the state government seeking permission to proceed against the two officers who are in senior positions in the Karnataka Police and allegedly helped IMA founder Masoor Khan, they said.
