Jamaat hails ruling on quota

KOCHI: The Kerala Muslim Jamaat Federation has welcomed the Supreme Court ruling upholding 27 per cent seat reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBC) in Central educational institutions. Addressing a press conference here, Kadakkal Abdul Azeez Maulavi, president of the federation, said that most of the Muslims in the country would not get the benefits of reservation.

Though 90 per cent of the Muslims in the State belonged to the backward classes, 70 per cent of the Muslim in other States was not in the backward classes list.
