How can Amit Shah make a statement on an issue which is pending in Supreme Court: Dr Dasoju 

Hyderabad, April 24: BRS senior leader censured Union Home Minister Amit Shah over latter's announcement to revoke reservations for Muslim Minorities in Telangana. Lambasting Amit Shah over BJP's stance on Muslim reservations issue, Dr Dasoju Sravan stressed that denying reservations to Muslims will only lead to further poverty and alienation among Minority community and lead to unrest in Telangana.

Dr Dasoju Sravan, an advocate of social justice, also mocked Amit Shah for saying that the reservations revoked from Minorities will be given to OBCs, stressing that its just a diverting tactic to sabotage Muslim reservations.

"Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced that BJP will revoke 4 percent reservations for Muslims if voted to power in Telangana. It is another matter that BJP will never come to power in Telangana, but how can Amit Shah make a statement on an issue which is pending in Supreme Court? Is Amit Shah bigger than Courts and above Constitution? It is extremely callous that Amit Shah is misleading people in a sensitive and important issue that is subjudiced in the Apex Court," said Dr Dasoju Sravan firing on Amit Shah. 

Coming down heavily on Union Home Minister, BRS senior leader questioned the rationale behind BJP's stance on Muslim reservations. 

"It is only because of reservations that SC, ST and OBCs, who were oppressed for generations, have come into mainstream. Muslim reservations were also bought in to bring Muslims, who are in abject poverty and feeling neglected, into the mainstream," pointed out Dr Dasoju Sravan.

"BJP time and again targets Muslims and allege that Muslims in certain parts of India are supporting anti-social elements. The only way to address the poverty and alienation of Muslim community is by assuring them that they are part of mainstream and sending clear signals that majority community is concerned about their well being. But the irresponsible and political motivated strategy of BJP to revoke reservations for Minorities will only lead to a orphaned feeling among Minorities and create resentment among them, which may potentially lead to unrest. Is this that BJP wants?" questioned Dr Dasoju Sravan expressing serious concern over revokation of Muslim reservations.

"Union Home Minister Amit Shah also said that reservations revoked from Muslims will be given to OBCs. This is nothing but a crooked political plot to sabotage Muslim reservations and create unrest in Telangana ahead of Assembly elections. It is unfortunate that Union Home Minister who is responsible for maintaining harmony in society is plotting to create unrest," alleged Dr Dasoju Sravan exposing Amit Shah's diversionary tactics in linking Muslims reservations with OBCs.

"There are many extremely backward communities among Muslims like Dudekula, Pinjari, Dhobis and others. Instead of removing reservations for Muslims and giving it to OBCs, BJP should ensure that disadvantaged sections among Muslims are benefited from reservations. If at all BJP is really concerned about OBCs, it should first conduct a caste census and take steps to decide on the population and rightful share of OBCs in education and employment opportunities, instead of creating rifts between communities for petty political benefits," demanded Dr Dasoju Sravan.
