Amit Shah Vows To Scrap Muslim Quota in Telangana, A Owaisi Responds | Read

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday vowed to scrap the reservations for Muslims in Telangana if the BJP forms the government in the state. Addressing the rally at Chevella near Hyderabad, Amit Shah slammed religion-based reservations, calling them "unconstitutional". He said the party will do away with the 4 per cent Muslim quota if it comes to power in Telangana, offering the right to Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and other backward communities. "This right is of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and OBC," Mr Shah said. Hitting back at the home minister over his promise to scrap the Muslim quota in the state, Mr Owaisi said that the BJP has no vision for Telangana, besides "anti-Muslim hate speech". "Besides anti-Muslim hate speech BJP has no vision for Telangana. All they can offer is fake encounters, surgical strikes on Hyderabad, curfews, releasing criminals & bulldozers. Why do you hate people of Telangana so much?" he asked.
