Our Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh said the following:
He warned that “no entity should be created inconsistent with our Constitutional framework and charged with onerous executive responsibilities without any accountability… Let us not create something that will destroy all that we cherish…all in the name of combating corruption. Let us remember that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
But this leaf from his speech was on his opposition of bringing CBI under Lokpal…
If you read his statements again, thinking about the communal (Muslim) reservations inside Lokpal, you would agree that on the same grounds, communal quota should have never been passed by the parliament.
Indian constitution doesn’t allow reservations on the basis of one’s faith. But our government has not only decided to make 50% quota for some castes and for minority religions, they have also announced 4.5% reservations for minorities (Muslims and Christians), on the basis of their faith! In my opinion, this is completely against our constitution, and all of us should oppose this. So far I see only BJP has been opposing this, but I think the responsibility is on each one of us.
Say no to communal politics in the name of Lokpal! Say no to minority quota!
