Indian Home Minister Amit Shah stated that there is no question of granting any reservation based on religion. He made the remark on Thursday, April 16, while presenting the Women’s Reservation Bill, the Delimitation Bill, and amendments to Union Territory laws in Parliament. Shah emphasized that the Indian Constitution does not permit religion-based reservations and reaffirmed the government’s position that providing such benefits to Muslims would be unconstitutional.
Following his statement, Samajwadi Party leader and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav asked whether Muslim women would be included under the proposed reservation framework. In response, Shah said that the Samajwadi Party could nominate Muslim women candidates if it wished, and the government would have no objection. During the discussion, Shah also mentioned that the government’s work on the national census is ongoing and that a caste-based count has been decided.
The remarks, reported by The Times of India, underline the government’s firm stance on constitutional limits regarding religion-based quotas and its ongoing demographic initiatives.
