VHP demands withdrawal of sub-quota for minorities

VHP says,"We oppose and demand scrapping of reservation to Muslims within the 27 per cent OBC quota."

VHP today demanded withdrawal of sub-quota for minorities within the OBC quota saying the move will cause social unrest across the country.

“We oppose and demand scrapping of reservation to Muslims within the 27 per cent OBC quota approved by the Union Cabinet as religion-based reservation is violative of the Constitution. Muslim and Christians should not be given reservation,” VHP International General Secretary Dinesh Chander told reporters here today.

“It would divide the society on the basis of caste and religion and cause social unrest in the country. It is dangerous,” he said.
