Bhopal: The demand to provide reservation to Dalit Muslims on the lines of Dalits is against the basic principles of Islam, a Muslim organisation said on Saturday.

All-India Muslim Backward Classes Federation (AIMBCF), in a statement here, said reservation was given to Dalits on the account of oppression suffered by the community in the past.

AIMBCF president Ibrahim Qureshi said there was no way in which 'Dalit Muslims' can be equated with their counterparts in the Hindu community.

Qureshi said the move to provide quota to a section of the minority community could lead to communal tension.

In an another statement, AIMBCF general secretary Idrish Qureshi welcomed the Centre's move to provide quota for backward Muslims within the 27 per cent OBC reservation.

We have given reservation to some classes. But have not given social status to them. For that I recommand that all elected members right from Panchayat to President of India, should have their family doctors only from reserved quota. Their lawyers should only come from rese4rvation class. They should only travel by a plane in which a pilot is of backward class. All their legal, financial advisers ,even drivers also should be from that class. No elected member should be reimbusred their medical expenses if the doctor is not from reserved quota.Compulsurrily one of the leaders family member should mar4ry a BC man. Only after these steps the backward class will get their social status.

And how will government determine who are the most backward among the backward muslims? Will government also teach them to sing Vande Mataram? No? Then won`t they still be backward despite all the appeasement?

First start singing Vande Mataram, then think of corruption!! Vande Mataram unites all Indians. If you want to feel like you are a special category of Indian, above all laws, then you will of course not want to sing Vande Mataram.

It has become almost a crime to belong to the majority community. You cannot voice an opinion against any minority community as their super sensitive sentiments will be hurt. It does not matter if they hurt your sentiments.

INDIA SHOULD START THINKING OF BECOMING SUPER-POWER RATHER THAN VOTE-BANK POLITICS. INDIA SHOULD STOP CASTE AND RESERVATION POLICY. INDIA SHOULD FOCUS ON MERITS AND UPLIFTMENT OF POOR PEOPLE. JAI HIND.
