AIMIM upset over judicial activism; presses for Muslims quota
Hyderabad: All major political parties in Andhra Pradesh today supported 4 per cent reservation for "socially and economically-backward" Muslims in jobs and education and hoped the Supreme Court would pave the way for it by staying the High Court verdict that nullified the quota.
The Andhra Assembly took up a short-duration discussion on the issue today even as the Supreme Court, hearing a Special Leave Petition filed by the State Government, posted the case for March 25.
TDP member Pocharam Srinivasa Reddy, Congress MLA Sheik Mastanvali, Praja Rajyam Party's B Sobha Nagi Reddy and MIM floor leader Akbaruddin Owaisi took part in the discussion and stressed on the need for providing reservation for socially and economically-backward Muslims in the state.
The discussion saw trading of charges between ruling Congress and main Opposition TDP with their members accusing each other of doing nothing for the welfare of Muslims.
As the Congress MLA Mastanvali referred Leader of Opposition N Chandrababu Naidu by name, TDP members stormed the Speaker's podium. Deputy Speaker Nadendla Manohar, who was in the Chair, ruled that nothing spoken out of context would go into the records.
The TDP members returned to their seats only after Chief Minister K Rosaiah intervened and expressed regrets on behalf of the "two sides."
Later as the MIM leader Akbaruddin was speaking, Deputy Speaker Manohar asked: "How much more time you need, Mr Akbar, to complete your speech?"
"I need 15 minutes more, sir," Akbar replied.
At that point, Manohar adjourned the House for the day, catching everyone by surprise.
Later, addressing a press conference, Naidu strongly deplored the manner in which both Speaker Kiran Kumar Reddy and Deputy Speaker Manohar were conducting the House.
"Both of them are acting in a most undemocratic fashion," he alleged, adding the Speaker has made it a habit of abruptly adjourning the House on one pretext or the other.
"How can the government accuse us of having failed as an Opposition when it was preventing important issues from being discussed in the Assembly? the TDP chief questioned.
The former Chief Minister demanded that the government extend the ongoing Budget session of the Assembly by four or five days since there were many pressing issues to be discussed.
"We are ready to co-operate with the government in discussing and resolving public problems," he said.
