Minorities’ quota: Centre to await court order

NEW DELHI: The government will await the court verdict on reservation for the minorities in Andhra Pradesh before proceeding further on the report of the National Commission for Religious and Linguistic Minorities, which has recommended a quota for the minorities. Union Minister of State for Minority Affairs Salman Khursheed said this here on Monday. The NCRLM has recommended 15% quota in government jobs, besides non-minority educational institutions, for minorities, with 10 per cent of this quota going to Muslims.
