New Delhi:

Union minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar as we speak mentioned the ramifications of a brand new inhabitants research, which, amongst different issues, discovered the Muslim group rising exponentially, should be examined from varied angles to find out its fallouts. Probably the most essential elements could be the query of reservation in schooling and jobs.  “When one minority group grows, there’s a query of the way it impacts different minority communities, by way of alternatives,” the minister mentioned.

“Is there a threat that the opposite minority communities, like Parsis and Jains and Buddhists and Sikhs and Christians are crowded out from the advantages and the schemes designed for minorities? From schooling, from jobs to alternatives?” the minister advised NDTV in an unique interview.

Then there could be the query of different communities, like Different Backward Courses, which have been denied the identical advantages for many years, particularly when seen within the context of the Congress “speaking about going towards the structure and giving that very same group extra reservations,” he mentioned.

The information from the Financial Advisory Council to the Prime Minister confirmed the Hindu inhabitants has decreased by 7.82 per cent between 1950 and 2015 in India. The inhabitants of Muslims has elevated by 43.15 per cent in the identical interval, suggesting there’s a conducive setting within the nation to foster variety.

The paper, coming in the midst of election, has set off controversy, with many calling it “scare-mongering”. Requested about that, Mr Chandrasekhar made it clear that point is irrelevant in the case of details.

“I significantly do not feel that when there may be some reality that’s put on the market,  knowledge and details which can be put on the market, whether or not it’s throughout election, earlier than election or after election details stay the details, the reality stays the reality. And there’s no means of individuals making an attempt to wriggle out of an uncomfortable reality and to discover a extra handy reality,” he mentioned.
