Lucknow: The annual session of the All India
Shia Personal Law Board will be held in New Delhi on October
25, when the community is likely to demand reservation in
Parliament and government jobs.
The national policy for Shias would be announced at the
session, which would pass a resolution condemning terrorist
activities across the world, Board president Maulana Mirza
Mohammed Athar told reporters here today.
The board would demand reservation for the community on
the lines of quota for Dalits in Parliament, he said adding
considering their financial backwardness Shias should be given
reservation in jobs as well.
The community would voice its concern over "interference"
of some Muslim countries in India`s internal matters, he said.
Another resolution would seek reforms in religion and
educational matters of the community.
