Ranganath report will promote conversions: BJP

STAFF WRITER 21:2 HRS IST
New Delhi, Dec 18 (PTI) BJP today rubbished the Ranganath Commission
report on minority reservation, saying it would promote religious
conversions and affect the status of SC and ST as enshrined in the
Constitution.

"Congress party has fallen in its own trap by proposing reservations
for Dalit Muslims and Dalit Christians. It vindicates BJP's stand that
this action (of giving reservation to minorities) would promote
conversions and is anti-national," BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy
said.

The Rajya Sabha MP maintained that implementation of Ranganath
Commission recommendations would adversely affect the status of SCs
and STs as enshrined in the Constitution.

He further argued that even the basic essence of OBC reservation as
envisaged after Mandal Commission will "stand fractured".

Rudy criticised the UPA government for not tabling the action taken
report along with the Commission report, saying this makes the action
of Congress a suspect.
