The decision to carve out a sub-quota of 4.5 per cent for backward minorities from the 27 per cent reservation for Other Backward Classes is “inadequate”, so feels the Muslim leadership. According to them, it is neither proportional to the population nor does it address the backwardness of the community. The Muslims fear that including them in the “minority quota” basket would result in the “more developed” minorities elbowing them out, taking away even existing opportunities. Welfare Party president Mujtaba Farooq said Muslim outfits would organise a seminar soon to chalk out future plans.
