The protest is organized to demand separate 10 % reservation in eucation and employment of Central Government and 7% reservartion in education and dmployment of state Government for Muslims.
Even after 60 years of Independence, the status of Muslims is far below than the national Average and other Socio- Religious communities.
To review the status of backward communities, the Central Government has appointed the “Mandal Commission”, which has outlined in detail including Muslims community. Subsequent to Mandal Commission, Central Government, has appointed Justice Sachar and Justice Ranganath Misra Commission to study the status of Indian Muslims in Education, Employment and socio-Economic conditions. Justice Sachar and Justice Ranganath Misra Commissions had rightly outlined the pathetic conditions of Indian Muslims and to overcome the issue, the committee has suggested a number of measures. One such important measure was to provide a separate reservations for Muslims in education and employment of Central Government, reference to Provisions of Constitution of India, vide Article 15, 16(4) and 46.
Quick re-view on Muslims Status:-
Muslims who can read & write – 59.1% rest of 40.9% can’t read & write. Degree-holders are mere 3.6% which is lower than other religions – 34.63% living without toilet, proper drinking water and 36.92% are living below poverty line which is below the national average! Muslims families average monthly income is Rs. 1832.20/- To overcome all these causes, the only solution is reservation for Muslims in education and employment of Central and State government.
To speed up this demand and pressure the Central Government to act on the recommendations, TNTJ has organized Nationwide Campaign to create awareness among Muslims and take the support of Secular People.
