Delhi minority commission reiterates demand of 15 % minority quota in Delhi govt jobs; Muslim representation mere 2 %.CM Kejriwal adopts silence on recommendation since last year
By Abdul Bari Masoud
New Delhi: Strongly recommending for 15 per cent quota for minorities and fixing 10 per cent sub-quota exclusively for Muslim minority in it, the Delhi Minorities Commission (DMC) released its annual report for the year 2018-19 on Tuesday.
The report highlighted that the representation of minorities particularly Muslims in government and public sector jobs in NCT of Delhi is mere two percent while the Muslim population in the national capital is more than 16 percent.
Releasing the report at the Commission’s office, commission chairman Dr. Zafarul Islam Khan said the recommendation is based on a survey has been done by the commission about the representation of minorities in government and public sector jobs in NCT of Delhi. He said it is the largest survey done so far in Delhi which shows that the government and PSUs are still not inclusive as far as minorities are concerned. According to the findings of the survey, the Muslim representation in Delhi government jobs is less than two per cent while the Muslim population is more than 16 percent in the NCT.
Dr Khan said the recommendation for minority reservation was sent to the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal through a letter way back last year on March 20, 2019 and the commission has been still waiting the CM’s response. The commission’s demand of minority quota is in line with the recommendations presented by the Justice (retd) Ranganath Misra Commission in its report in 2007, he added.
The annual report offers a birds-eye-view of the work of the Delhi Minorities Commission during the preceding year and also includes recommendations of the Commission to the Government of Delhi for the betterment of the conditions of the minorities in NCT of Delhi which, as designated by Central Government, are Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Budhhists, Jains and Parsis. The report has been presented to the Government of Delhi including Lt. Governor and Chief Minister of Delhi and it has also been sent to all MPs and MLAs of NCT of Delhi.
On the diversity index survey, Dr Khan said its findings are based on the responses received from 117 departments and Public Sector Undertakings (PSU). He said several departments such as Delhi Development Authority (DDA), South Delhi Municipal corporation, East Delhi Municipal corporation, Delhi Technological University, Delhi Commission for Women, University of Delhi, Jawaharlal Nehru University, National Law University, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Maulana Azad Medical College and Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology etc did not provide any information regarding representation of minorities.
After noticing dismal Muslim representation in Delhi government jobs, I have sent a letter to the CM on March 20 last year, asking him to reserve 15 per cent of jobs for the minorities, including 10 per cent for Muslims but there was no response to it so far, the chairman Dr Khan told reporters while highligtings the achievements of the commission.
The letter sent to the CM was attached to the annual report. He said that the Congress-led UPA-government had constituted a HighLevel Committee under Delhi High court former chief justice Rajendra Sachar to ascertain the overall state of affairs of the Muslim community. Based on Sachar Committee report of 2006, the Justice(retd) Rangnath Misra Commission in its recommendations stated that to set “15 per cent reservation for all minorities, including 10 per cent for the Muslim community, excluding the creamy layer in the government jobs”.
However, the Misra Commission report presented in May 2007, but it did not see light as then UPA government in its both the terms did not muster courage even to table it in Parliament.
“It is our strong recommendation that the Government of NCT of Delhi should come forward and implement the recommendations of the two reports in full in the NCT of Delhi. This will convey a great message about your government and party among the minorities in the country who form over 20 per cent of the population”, Dr. Khan said in his letter to Arvind Kejriwal. But Kejriwal has neither replied to the letter until now nor taken any action on it.
The findings of the survey debunk the saffron propaganda about “appeasement” of Muslims by the Congress and non-BJP parties, he added.
The annual report underlines that,“There is no marked improvement in Muslim representation in Delhi government services despite many promises and schemes in the wake of Prime Minister’s 15-point programme, Sachar Committee Report of 2006 and Justice Misra Commission Report of 2007”.
According to the report, out of a total of 80,880 police personnel in the Delhi police, only 1489 or 1.84 per cent are Muslims.
Likewise, the Muslim representation in Delhi Tourism and Transport Development Corporation Ltd, Delhi Fire Services, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation and North Delhi Municipal Corporation is one per cent, 0.53 per cent, 2.93 per cent and 1.28 per cent, respectively. Similarly, Muslim percentage in Delhi Transport Department and Urban Development Department is 0.72 and 0.93, respectively.
The Commission strongly reiterated its demand of quota for minorities in its report that the Government of NCT of Delhi has “to fully implement the recommendations of the Sachar Committee and Misra Commission reports in its area of jurisdiction”.
It also suggested that, “If need be, minority quota should be fixed and representation of minorities on the selection committees made mandatory.”
On the occasion, the Commission also announced name of the awardees, it gives awards under 14 categories including Communal Harmony, Community Service, Human Rights, Non-Government Organisations, Promotors of Punjabi, Promotors of Urdu, Sports, Supporters of Minorities, Teachers of Substance, Print & Electronic Media persons, Outstanding Schools, Special Awards, Life-Long Achievement. This year 178 awards have been given under these categories. Two new categories, Special Awards and Lifetime Achievement Awards, have been added to the list this year.
It is to be noted that it is the third and final annual report of the present commission as its three-year term comes to an end in July next month. since its formation in June 2017, the commission has taken up minority issues and problems pro-actively which did no go down well with the powers that be.
shows lack of merit.
so get a job by back door.
Reservation is key to represention. Representation leads to participation. Participation is part of empowerment.
Sachar Committee was the diagnosis and Misra Commission contained the prescription. That is 15% quota for minorities in education and govt jobs, out of which 10% for Muslims.
UPA I & II did not act. Parliament did not discuss. Secular political parties did not talk.
When I talked toJustice Sachar about an year before his demise, he asked why the non-BJP state govts not implementing Sachar recommendations including Equal Opportunity Commission. The same demad applies to Misra recommendations also. Let quota for minoritites start with Delhi Govt.
muslims will not have talent to compete in a society with high umemployment.
it maybe positive to give then some jobs-maybe this will lead to more development, and a safer society.
however this is not certain. even in western countries, great support for all,
has not changed muslim performance.however no harm in giveing muslims a hand, and hopeing for the best.
More hate refilled nonsense from the Hindu goo bhakt. Muslims have no shortage of talent, but they face discrimination in India from Hindus with your ugly bigoted mindset. You dont even live in the West and talking about Muslim performance?! Laughable. Hindu performance is subpar relying heavily on nepotism. The reality is Hindus can’t compete in an even contest so they have to lie, cheat and bribe their way through life. That’s why Hindus are #1 in visa fraud in the US with their fake degrees. Not to mention all the call center scams they run out of India.
live in danmark- have friends in norway, sweden,britain.
my daughter teaches muslim women-her experience says muslim women prevented to learn danish, or work by their husbands.they believe their women will be lose their islamic culture. a pity. some muslim women who study do well-are smarter then muslim males.

4 wives, pigry farm sized families, halala facilities, welfare ration card, free health care, free gas, free burial land, India Hating, Hindu hating, making fun of Hindu God and Goddess, identifying themselves with Pakistan and Bangladesh or Muslim Countries..want to be legally allowed to block streets, parks as their right to do namaz, as legal rights to announce their presence in Hindu Homes 5 times a day, only community who would listen to illiterate Mullas during corona virus but not Government, only community who believes that it has constitutional right to cut cows in front Hindu Homes whom they revere, a community whose leaders believe publicly and repeatedly say that 15 percent Muslom will kill 80 percent Hindus in this country..and now wants reservation.
4 wives with pigry families want instant 3 second talaq and NOW reservation.. Bharat Teray Tukray Hongay..Inshaallah Inshaallah want reservation. 15% who want to kill 80% want Reservation..
Myanmar..you are great nation
Let us first decide by A NATION WIDE REFERENDUM wheather MUSLIMS IN INDIA ARE INDIANS ARE INDIANS OR NOT.
I know Muslims living in India in Kashmir UT consider themselves PAKISTANIS.
most muslims hate hindus, and nothing done for them will change their mind.i know from persnal experience- my grand father built a college in the town he lived in pakistan.an uncle built a irrigation system.another uncle built a transport company- they all left in 1947, refuseing to convert to islam.years later my mother gave 5 acrea of prime land in haryana to build a school. most kids are muslims. no muslims paid even a penny.
most colleges, museum, hospitals in lahore were built by sir ganga ram.
zero muslim participation, afghan parliament in kabul was gifted by india.
kabul has a indira gandhi childrens hosptal. india has given aid to afghanistan of, about 3 billion usd, pakistan has given them mullah omar and taliban.
usa and uk praise talented hindus. ceo, s of google, microsoft,ibm
are hindus pepsicola had indira noyi as ceo. 350, 000 employes.
no matter what muslims will ignore all of this- just insulting remarks-
about gao mutra, gober,the same people complain of discrimination, despite wellfare programmes,i presume this is why mynmaar expelled a million rohingyas.also why china has a million muslims in labour camps.muslims dont complain..
there is a huge dislike for muslims across the world
muslims in india will not learn- this magazine shows how much.muslims hate hindus,nothing can be done about this. maybe its time for another parition of the country. this time a hindu india and a muslim india.complete
this time. the 1947 partion was a mess due to naive gandhi and nehru.
there were nopeople like themon the muslim side.pakistan declared itself as an islamic republic,and most minorities left.muslims stayed back.
pakistan is ours,and so is india. ghazva hind.india is an unfortunate country most of my relations who live in the west will never agree to live in india, i dont even want to visit it anymore. never to live there not even if i was gifted a palace and all kind of inducements,
danmark with 95 percent danes is a wonderful country- i thank danmark with all my heart. india should have been just a little like danmark.
Hidden BJP hypocrite SANGHI B@sket KEJRIWAL does not wish to empower underprivilged Indian Muslims who donated their blood plasma in Corona Covid2020 and set a noble precedent of saving lives before the entire world, despite their innate state-engineered poverty.
i live in danmark- danes have built a wonderful country-free education up to phd level. free medican help- even free heart transplants.a country with opportunities for all men- social help for unemployed
no one helped danmark to become such a country- it has some of the biggest world known companies. novo-producer of 50 percent insulim 50,000 employes, vestas 2nd biggest producer of wind mills, mærsk -biggest shipping company and a host of world known companies. this is country where snow covers the land for many months.it still has great agriculture, production of pork,milk, butter and cheese.
no one has helped danmark. no one is stopping any one in india.to create world class companies.no one is helping poor brahmins. if elite hindus do well its because they value education and hard work.
muslim reservation will be paid for by poor hindus. is that what islam teaches.
sundar pichai ceo google comes from a poor hindu family.he slept on the fllor as young.
why are there so few muslims of his kind. or like indira noya a hindu woman ex ceo of pepsicola. she changed the company and was amongst few
women top ceo,s in usa,had 350,000 employes. can a muslim woman wearing a burqa ever get this job
my message is loud and clear-study, work hard and dont ask for favours.
there is nothing like a free lunch
why do you need empowerment- look at parsees- field marshall sam manikshaw,air marshall fali major
are they discriminated.
tata ,s have created world class companies- tata steel, tata motors,tata
consultancy, taj hotels
i know of one or two muslim reestaurants in delhi. one is khan chacha.
thats it. you guys are tied to your mulla, masjid, kabristan. ummah,ummah, alah,allah.
you guys hate hindus, and are stupid to demand favours.
get lost
india should be devided once again. hindu india and muslim india. it will give muslims a chance to empower themselves. hindus no longer guilty of keeping muslims down.the two can never live happily togather.work on this.
india should identify areas which are 100 percent muslims.
have their own economy. schools,colleges,industries, farming-
relations with islamic countries-maybe own citizenship.,pasports.
likewise for hindus.
both religions should disengage.they have had bad relationship for many years. hindu india should modernise and westernise. muslims to decide
for themselves.none of our business
muslim mirror should , ask its muslim readers which areas are ready for muslim pakistan in india.good luck-goodbye.
why despite discimination, hate by hindus still no muslims leaveing for
pakistan, bangladesah-instead muslim bangladeshi liveing iilleaglly in india,
imagine muslims protesting against caa.they demand muslims from pakistan and bangladeshi to be allowed into india. why when they say india is so bad
for muslims. why dont they demand pakistan to give asylum to persecuted muslims. why does pakistan not offer to take persecuted indian muslims.
baffleing- they hate india, hindus but will not leave for pakistan, a country they voted for.commies support islam-baffleing when they are against religion-when china has put muslims in labour camps.
