After the Maharashtra Cabinet on Tuesday approved the bill to extend 10 per cent reservations to Maratha community in the state, Samajwadi Party (SP) MLA Rais Shaikh said that Muslim community in the state also deserve reservation to eradicate backwardness.
Speaking to ANI, the SP MLA alleged that the Muslim community is being `ignored` by the state government. A 5 per cent reservation must be given to Muslims at the earliest to eradicate the backwardness of the community and to do `justice` with them. He also said that he welcomes the justice Maratha community is getting, but Muslims should not be ignored.
