After Amit Shah, Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde Targets Rahul Gandhi Over His Reservation Comment

Just hours after Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused Congress MP Rahul Gandhi of conspiring to end reservations for socially backward classes in the country, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde repeated the claim and said that Mahayuti, the alliance that is currently in power in Maharashtra, will not allow scrapping of the reservation regime.

Accusing Gandhi of maligning India’s image whenever he goes abroad, Shinde alleged that the Congress MP has a ‘pro-West’ mentality. He claimed that with his latest US-visit, Rahul Gandhi laid bare the true face of the Congress.

In a post made on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) in Marathi, Shinde said that it was unbecoming of a public leader like Rahul Gandhi to badmouth the country and saying it was not a ‘fair place’. Protesting such use of words, CM Shinde said when Indians have raised stature of the country in the world by exemplary performance in the field of Information Technology, Gandhi with his words has insulted all of them.

What had Rahul Gandhi say previously?

Rahul Gandhi was interacting with students of Georgetown University. He was making a case about caste census and lower participation from backward classes in running of the country when he spoke about the reservation regime.

“If you look at the Indian government, there are 70 bureaucrats who run the Indian government, secretaries to the government of India. These are the people who make almost all the financial decisions…Out of 70 people there is one tribal, three Dalits, three OBCs and a minority. 90 per cent of India in the government of India has access to less than 10 per cent of the positions that determine how money is going to be spent. When you look at the financial numbers, then Tribals get 10 paise out of Rs 100, Dalits get Rs 5 out of Rs 100, and OBCs get a similar amount,” said Gandhi.

“There’s an elephant in the room. When we talk about the capture of institutions, businesses, and the media, the elephant in the room is that 90% of India–OBCs, Dalits, Adivasis–aren’t even part of the game. That’s really the elephant in the room,” he said.

About reservation, Gandhi said that scrapping of reservation can only be thought of after India becomes a ‘fair place’. He immediately added that currently India was not a fair place, hinting that reservation was needed.

Mumbai: In an important meeting of scholars of all ideologies on the loudspeaker controversy in Govind Shivaji Nagar, Mumbai, it was decided that the documents of mosques, schools and madrasas should be certified and along with this, police permission for loudspeakers should also be obtained without any restriction because communal elements, especially Crate Soumya, are trying to spoil the atmosphere of Mumbai city, so he is constantly targeting mosques, schools and madrasas.

Addressing this meeting, Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi said that Crate Soumya is suffering from mosques and Azan. He is promoting communalism to create hatred between Hindus and Muslims, so Muslims need to be careful with him. He said that the way the law was flouted near Maloni Mosque on Ram Navami, DJ was played. He said that today the Constitution is being flouted, so Muslims need to be patient and be ready to work strategically. He said that a meeting should be held with the BMC and Police Commissioner on this issue and they should be made aware of the situation. Along with this, a ban has also been demanded on these miscreants. He further said that the illegal visit of miscreants, especially Krit Soumya, should be stopped.

Former minister and Congress leader Arif Naseem Khan said that we need to correct the documents of mosques, schools and madrasas and respond to them legally. Arif Naseem Khan said that along with the legal documents of madrasas, it is also mandatory to obtain loudspeaker permits. He said that we need to work cautiously and not in passion because communal elements are constantly trying to bring Muslims on the streets and mislead them, but we have to respond to them legally. Arif Naseem Khan proposed that only Azan should be given on loudspeaker and the rest of the speeches should be given using the speakers installed inside the mosque, to which the scholars agreed.

In this meeting, a team of lawyers was formed which will try to sort out the papers and other legal problems of the mosques and then legal action will be taken in this regard. Abu Asim Azmi said that the miscreants have objection only to the loudspeakers of mosques. In this, Raj Thackeray, Krant Soumya, Mangal Prabhat Lodha and Nitish Rane are creating an atmosphere of hatred and are conspiring to lure Muslims and bring them on the streets so that the atmosphere gets spoiled. Muslims need to be vigilant, so my demand is that these hateful leaders should be completely banned and their tours should also be banned so that a peaceful atmosphere is maintained. In this meeting, Maulana Abdul Rahman Ziyai said that legal action has been taken regarding the objection to loudspeakers on mosques. Apart from this, Krant Soumya and other leaders are also targeting madrasas. Their documents are also being investigated, which is completely wrong. However, work is also being done on the authenticity of the documents of madrasas and other issues.
