Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday slammed the Congress for secretly changing the status of Jamia Millia Islamia Central University in New Delhi which allowed reservation on 50 per cent of seats for the Muslims and alleged that the ‘Grand Old Party’ worked towards snatching the rights of Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Other Backward Classes (OBC), Dalits, Tribals in higher education.
Addressing a rally in Delhi, which will vote in Lok Sabha elections on May 25, PM Modi said that the Congress worked to snatch the rights of our SC-ST-OBC, Dalit, tribal brothers and sisters in higher education. The whole country knows how much injustice the Congress has done to our SC-ST-OBC, Dalit, tribal brothers and sisters. The Congress government quietly played a trick and declared Jamia-Millia University a minority institution. This made 50 per cent reservation for Muslims applicable in it.”
