Congress led UPA’s Minister for Minority Affairs Salman Khursheed has said that the government has more or less decided to provide Muslims reservations in jobs and education and for that matter the government would require a constitutional amendment to implement reservation scheme. As per 2001 census Muslims in India are 12.4 percent, said Congress (I). There are already some states where Muslims have their percentage of reservation fixed. For instance Kerala has 12 percent in government jobs reserved for Muslims. In Tamil Nadu 3.5 percent jobs are reserved for Muslims and Christians. In Karnataka the reservation for Muslims is 4 percent. In West Bengal there is 10 percent reservation for Muslims in government jobs. And in Andhra Pradesh the Supreme Court has already allowed 4 percent reservation. Congress (I) has always worked for Muslim community and assured the community that it will continue to work for their causes, said Congress (I).
