The new proposed minority reservation bill in Andhra Pradesh is totally discriminatory and biased and sets a bad precedent. Reservations in jobs are justified for economically backward people as they give them much wanted economic support. But the basis for determining this should be economics alone. Minority reservation bill is discrimination on the basis of religion. We strongly oppose this and request the Andhra Pradesh Government and the Government of India to take a fresh look at this.
