Cong justifies quota, says condition of poor Muslims worse than Dalits
Press Trust Of India
CSM Nagar, December 24, 2011
Justifying the Congress-led UPA government's proposed move of
providing a sub-quota for minorities, a union minister on Saturday
said that condition of poor Muslims and Buddhists in the county was
"worse" than Dalits. "The condition of poor Muslims and Buddhists in
the country was worse
than Dalits, therefore 4.5 % quota within quota was necessary," coal
minister Sriprakash Jaiswal today said.
The union minister alleged that corruption in Uttar Pradesh was at its
peak and blamed the chief minister Mayawati for it. "Though union
government wants to set up projects, the state is not making land
available and corruption is at its peak," Jaiswal said.
Jaiswal claimed that this time Congress is going to form government in
Uttar Pradesh, and "behenji" (Mayawati) and "bhai saheb" should shun
their lure of power.
He also said that Congress is not worried about Anna Hazare and is
ready to face him if he decides to campaign against the party in the
state. "Congress is not worried about the agitation of Anna Hazare or
anyone else, and if Anna or his team comes to Uttar Pradesh to
campaign against it, the party is ready to face them," Jaiswal told
newspersons here.
"Congress looks ahead ... In the past also many people have campaigned
against it but what happened," Jaiswal said adding that his is a
democratic party which is not afraid of any individual or agitation.
"Congress only thinks about the sentiments of the people following
which it has introduced a strong Lokpal Bill in Parliament, which
covers Prime Minister as well as employees of group C and D and would
try to get it passed," he said.
