Govt move to implement Mishra, Sachar reports flayed

Terming as “vote bank politics” the Congress government’s announcement that it will implement the recommendations of the Ranganath Mishra  and Rajinder Sachar committees for the uplifting minorities, B J Puttaswamy (BJP) on Wednesday demanded that the same facilities be extended to backward communities as well.

Participating in a discussion on the motion of thanks to the governor’s address in the Legislative Council, Puttaswamy said both the reports are yet to be approved by the Centre.
But, the Congress government here has already made its stance on the reports. And, this is nothing short of a gimmick, he said.

The Mishra report suggests reservation should be on the basis of religion, Puttaswamy said. If the report is implemented, it will divide the people of the State, he added.
