5% Muslim quota officially lifted in Maha province | India News

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis

Mumbai: Eleven years after the BJP-Sena government Devendra Fadnavis Having scrapped the 5% quota for Muslims in government jobs and education, the Mahayut government has canceled a notification outlining the process for issuing caste validity certificates for the quota. Officials said the long-delayed process was completed after questions were raised at the last state Legislature meeting. The 5% minority quota was introduced by the Congress-NCP government in June 2014. However, the ordinance lapsed in December 2014 as it had not been converted into a bill by the subsequent BJP-Sena government led by Fadnavis. A high court petition also led to the stay of job quotas. In March 2015, the Fadnavis government issued an order officially canceling the ordinance. However, relevant notifications issued by the social justice department regarding caste validity certificates for minorities were ignored. The circular has now been cancelled. “This is just a formality,” one official said.
