The Tamil Nadu government has announced exclusive reservations for Christians and Muslims in government jobs and educational institutions. | |
| The decision comes on the heels of the Supreme Court's stay on the 27 per cent reservation for OBC students in elite educational institutions. |
| |
| According to a copy of the reply of Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi in the state assembly during a debate on the demand for grants to the minorities department, the state government had accepted the recommendations of the Tamil Nadu State Backward Classes Commission headed by Justice M Janardanam. |
| |
| Karunanidhi said the commission, which was asked to submit its recommendations for reservation for Muslims and Christians, had stated that the report of the Second Class Backward Commission, headed by J A Ambashankar, which dealt with the issue of the number of backward class people in the state, could be the basis for 'exclusive' reservation for Christians and Muslims. |
