In Karnataka, demands for appointing at least five Muslim ministers in the state cabinet have intensified, sparking protests across several regions. The issue has become a new political challenge for the ruling Congress, as Muslim community leaders argue that nearly 87 percent of Muslim voters supported the party in the last assembly election and that this support should be reflected in cabinet representation.
The demand follows earlier tensions between sections of the Muslim community and Congress leadership after the Davanagere by-election, when the party chose a candidate from the late Shamanur Shivashankarappa’s family instead of a Muslim nominee. Since then, Muslim leaders have sought greater influence in party decisions and protested disciplinary actions against Muslim politicians, viewing them as attempts to marginalize their leadership.
Fresh demonstrations began on Friday, with protesters insisting that five cabinet positions be reserved for Muslim representatives, including one for B.Z. Zameer Ahmed. Congress leaders acknowledged the community’s sentiments but said final decisions on cabinet expansion rest with the party high command.
