HYDERABAD: The Muslim United Action Committee and other Muslim organisations on Wednesday issued a 'fatwa', opposing the Andhra Pradesh Government's move to provide reservation to Muslims in education and government jobs on the basis of caste.
Addressing the press here, All India Majlis -e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) MP Asaduddin Owaisi said the organisations were opposing the caste-based reservation. It would not serve the purpose as the community desperately needed reservation for their uplift.
Stating that the repercussions on the caste-based reservation in Muslims would be severe once it was implemented, Owaisi said it was against 'Islam and Shariat'.
A delegation of United Action Committee would meet Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy to apprise him of the impact of such reservations.
