Leader of Opposition in Telangana Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir has expressed serious apprehensions over TRS Government fulfilling the promise of giving 12 per cent reservation for Muslims in the State.
Shabbir Ali strongly criticised Panchayat Raj Minister K T Rama Rao for his remarks against the Congress party over Muslim reservation issue.
Showing the copies of three judgements delivered by High Court and the interim-stay granted by Supreme Court, he advised KTR to first learn the details of Muslim reservation case before making any statement.
Shabbir Ali said KTR was speaking like an immature politician. He said KTR should have advised his father and Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao about these legal complications in giving reservation.
"KCR openly cheated the Muslims with criminal mind and wanted to grab their votes at any cost. For the same reason, he promised 12 per cent reservation within four months after coming to power. Having secured power in the State, TRS Government started conspiring against the Muslim reservation cause,” he said.
Questioning the seriousness of TRS Government in giving 12 per cent Muslim reservation, Shabbir Ali said the quota should have been given in areas where legal complications are not involved.
He said Muslims were not interested in State Government's Iftar parties, but they want real development and equal opportunities in education and jobs.
He ridiculed KTR's contention that TRS Government was taking all legal safeguards on reservation issue and said so far, at least 11 major decisions taken by TRS Government were struck down by the High Court.
