Constitution doesn't permit reservation on economic grounds: Asaduddin Owaisi on Centre's approval of 10% quota for poor upper castes

Hyderabad: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday said the Constitution doesnt permit reservations on economic grounds. [caption id=“attachment_4438041” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![File image of AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi.

IBNLive[/caption] Reacting to reports that the Union Cabinet has approved 10 percent reservation in jobs and educational institutions for the economically backward section in the general category, Owaisi said reservations are to correct historical injustice to Dalits. “Reservations are meant to correct historical injustice to Dalits. For poverty alleviation, one may run various schemes but reservations are meant for justice. Constitution doesnt permit reservations on economic grounds,” the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief tweeted. According to sources, the reservation benefit is likely to be availed by those whose annual income is below Rs 8 lakh and have up to five acres of land. Articles 15 and 16 of the Constitution will have to be amended for implementation of the decision, the sources added.
