In a landmark decision, the Election Commission on Thursday censured Union Law and Justice Minister Salman Khurshid, who is also in charge of Minority Affairs, for violating the model of code of conduct during an election rally in Uttar Pradesh on January 8. It warned him not to repeat such violation. He had promised a sub-quota of nine per cent for minorities in Uttar Pradesh out of 27 per cent reservation in jobs and educational institutions for the Other Backward Classes.
