Rangnath Commission report unconstitutional, says VHP

Ahmedabad, December 18: Criticising Justice Rangnath Mishra Commission report recommending 10 per cent reservation for Muslims, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) today said religion based reservation is unconstitutional.

The report of the National Commission for Religious and Linguistic Minorities headed by former CJI Ranganath Mishra was tabled by Minority Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid in the Lok Sabha today.

The Commission has recommended 10 per cent reservation for Muslims and five per cent for other minorities in government jobs.

“VHP rejects in toto the Rangnath commission report because it is unconstitutional, anti-national and anti-Hindu,” VHP international general secretary Praveen Togadia told media persons here.

“Khurshid who had recently called salaries of CEOs as vulgar, has by tabling the Rangnath Commission report shown the country his ‘constitutional vulgarity’,” he said.
