Surat, May 1 (ANI): Maulana Ghulam Mohammed Vastanvi, Vice-Chancellor of the Darul Uloom, has demanded reservation for Muslims in all educational institutions in Gujarat.
Speaking to media here, Vastanvi, who had stirred controversy after his “praise” for Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, said the condition of education for minorities in Gujarat is not in good shape.
“In education for minorities, Maharashtra and Karnataka are much better than Gujarat, where the condition of minority education is very poor,” Vastanvi added.
He also said the central government should provide reservation to the Muslim community in every educational institution.
“The way government of India is allotting reservation to BC (Backward Class), OBC (Other Backward Class) and other communities, there should be reservation for the Muslim community as well,” he added.
Underscoring the value of education in the present scenario, Vastanvi said: “Education is a compulsory. With out education, no community could make progress. The need of the hour is that, every Indian should be advanced in the matter of giving education to their children.” (ANI)
