NEW DELHI: The Catholic Bishops' Conference of India has called out the Modi government over its "dichotomous rendering of social justice" by failing to grant reservation in education and employment to Christian and Muslims of scheduled caste origins.Expressing concerns over the hasty passage of the 124th Constitution Amendment Bill , 2019, that carves out a new 10% quota for economically weaker sections (EWS) among the upper castes, the office for scheduled caste and backward classes under CBCI urged PM Narendra Modi to bring a legislation to include Christians and Muslims of SC origin in the scheduled caste list. The body has also petitioned PM Modi to increase reservation to SCs and STs, proportionate to their population.CBCI claimed that economically weaker sections are not affected by the caste system in India and that the constitutional amendment bill was, therefore, introduced and passed without a "scientific study" of the EWS. It also cited successive reports by backward an minority commissions that acknowledge the social and economic backwardness of Christians of SC origin and recommend SC status to them.
