HYDERABAD: Urging the Centre to implement the recommendations in the Ranganath Mishra Commission report, activists representing the Muslim minority said on Sunday that a campaign would be launched next week to press for their demands.

Speaking to mediapersons at a press conference, members of Movement for Peace and Justice (MPJ) stressed on the need to earmark 10% reservations for Muslims as mentioned in the Ranganath Mishra Commission report .

The speakers put forward their demands which include presenting the report in the House for detailed debate in order to stop vote-bank politics and exploitation of minorities, giving a statutory status to the report and setting aside 10% reservation exclusively for Muslims immediately.

They said that they will start a campaign in the coming week with support from other minorities including Sikhs, Christians and dalits in order to ensure that the 15% reservation for all minorities, of which 10% is for Muslims recommended in the report, be implemented. The campaign will include rallies and dharnas at mandal headquarters, district collectors and magistrates’ offices. “We will form an action committee next week. We will give a representation to the Centre too. Political parties like YSR Congress and TDP have agreed to support our cause.”
