Implement Sachar report now: LJP

NEW DELHI: The Lok Janshakti Party, (LJP), headed by Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan, has demanded the immediate implementation of the Sachar Committee report and separate reservation for Muslims in employment and educational institutions.

If needed an amendment to the Constitution should be made, according to a resolution passed at the party’s ‘Muslim Conference’ which ended here on Tuesday.

The meet also demanded punishment for those found guilty in 1992-93 Mumbai communal riots like those in the Mumbai bomb blasts and compensation for victims of all communal riots, including Bhagalpur riots, on the pattern of compensation for the Sikh victims of 1984 riots.

The LJP demanded that the law regarding anti-communal riots be framed as soon as possible and fast track courts established for early disposal of the cases of communal riots.
