The Vishwa Hindu Parishad today slammed the West Bengal Government for announcing 10% reservation in state jobs to Muslims in the OBC category and said the move would encourage conversions.
VHP leader Pravin Togadia termed the decision of the state government as "unconstitutional" and said it would encourage
conversions.
Those who argue that Muslims are poor and therefore they turn to jehad are living in a fool's paradise. Engineers, pilots and other professionals from well-to-do families are also involved in jehad," he said in a statement.
He said the West Bengal government announced its decision despite the Andhra Pradesh High Court quashing a similar move
by the AP Government.
Togadia alleged that decisions by Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal governments to provide reservation to Muslims in
education and jobs were aimed at appeasing the minority
community.
