Karnataka VHP opposes Muslim quota, calls for stir

Bengaluru, Apr 5 (UNI) The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Saturday opposed Karnataka Government’s decision to provide four percent reservation to Muslims in government contracts and announced that it would stage peaceful protests across all district headquarters on April eight.
Addressing a press conference here, Karnataka VHP President Deepak Rajgopal termed the government’s move to offer exclusive quota in works contracts up to Rs two crore and service contracts up to Rs one crore as "discriminatory" and "unconstitutional".
He said, "Economic backwardness exists across all communities. Granting exclusivity to one religious community not only violates the spirit of equality enshrined in the Constitution but also alienates the majority community, which is equally burdened by economic hardships."
