PM Modi Stands Firm Against Religious Quotas, Vows No Reservation for Muslims - During a public speech in Maharashtra's Nandurbar today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi voiced strong opposition against providing reservation benefits based on religion, asserting that it contradicts the fundamental values of India's Constitution.
Expressing his disapproval of religious quotas, he stated, "As long as I am alive, I will not allow reservations intended for Dalits, adivasis, and OBCs to be extended to Muslims solely based on religion."
Modi also criticized the Congress party, alleging that it has neglected the welfare of adivasis.
He emphasized the importance of upholding the principles of equality and social justice for all citizens, regardless of religious affiliation. Modi's stance underscores the ongoing debate surrounding reservation policies in India, with proponents arguing for inclusivity while critics raise concerns about potential discrimination and unequal treatment. The Prime Minister's remarks are likely to fuel further discussions on the delicate balance between affirmative action and secularism in the country.
