Rangnath Misra Report

Reacting strongly on Justice Rangnath Misra Committee report that proposed 10 per cent reservation to Muslims and 5 per cent to other minority communities, VHP general secretary Dr Pravin Togadia described it ‘anti constitution and nation-destructing jehadi conspiracy by those who refuse to control population quoting Islam. He said the Hindu Scheduled Castes and others who accept the national family planning scheme are being cheated through this report.

Dr Togadia warned if this anti-constitutional, anti-national and anti-Hindu move for Muslim and Christian votes, is accepted by the government or any effort of constitutional amendment is made for this, there would be a nationwide agitation by the VHP.

He also criticised the suggestion of providing reservation to Muslims and Christians who were earlier Scheduled Castes and then adopted Christianity or Islam. "Islam and Christianity do worldwide publicity-stunts criticising the Hinduism for casteism. They brag that they don’t have caste system. But now they are stealing from the pockets of Hindu SCs, OBCs and Vanvasis. This will not only promote conversions but will also leave Hindu SCs, OBCs and Vanvasis without jobs, education, loans etc. We follow the family planning for national interest, but the Muslims and Christians don’t follow it. All Hindu SCs, OBCs and Vanvasis should stand up against this government sponsored decoity and jehad. If the government passes this bill then surely Hindu SCs, OBCs and Vanvasis including their children will have no option but to die without food, job, medical treatment and housing. Those who do not follow national growth norms of development like population control have no right on Bharats’ resources," he said in a statement issued from Ahmedabad.

He said that after considered discussion in Constitutional Assembly religious reservation was rejected. Even minority members had agreed that there should not be reservation based on religion because religious reservation would ultimately end up in Partition of the country. Mohd Ali Jinnah initially demanded different types of reservation based on religion for Muslims, but now the Rangnath Misra and the Congress have become modern Jinnah to Divide India for selfish Muslim vote bank, Dr Togadia added.
