Lucknow, July 18: In a bid to woo Muslim voters ahead of the forthcoming Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, the ruling Samajwadi Party demanded reservation for Muslims in Parliament, Assemblies and government jobs in proportion to their population.
"Muslims should be given reservation in the Lok Sabha, Vidhan Sabha and government jobs in proportion to their population," party's national general secretary Beni Prasad Verma said.
He said his party would field Muslim candidates in the next Assembly elections in the state in proportion to their population.
Referring to former Prime Minister V P Singh's demand for reservation for most-backward Muslims within the 27 per cent reservation for OBCs, Verma said Singh should have done this when he had implemented the Mandal Commission report.
