Apparently taken aback by BSP chief Mayawati successfully pushing the quota in promotion bill, Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav sought to counter it in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday by making a strong pitch for reservation in government jobs for Muslims.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Yadav contended that the plight of the minority community was worse than that of the scheduled castes and tribes and asked the government as to what steps it had taken to implement the recommendations of the two committees headed by Rajinder Sachar and Justice Ranganath Misra on the status of Muslims.
Demanding quota for Muslims in government jobs, Yadav said the “precarious” status of the community has been correctly highlighted by the Sachar Committee.
