Muslims can be persuaded to
agree to the construction of Ram Mandir at the Babri Masjid site in Ayodhya
provided the following eight points are accepted, approved and implemented
by the Government:
1. De-reserve the constituencies of Lok Sabha and state assemblies where the
Scheduled Caste percentage is not the highest in the state. Instead, reserve
those constituencies where SC percentage is the highest, as recommended by
Justice Sachar Committee. Thus end the widespread violation of section
9(1)(c) of the Delimitation Act.
2. The Alternative Admission Criteria (apportioning 60% for merit + 40% for
backwardness) for undergraduate level admission into all universities and
colleges of India should be accepted, approved and implemented as
recommended by Justice Sachar Committee.
3. To fill the posts of CEO of state waqf boards the central government
should accept, approve and implement the launching of Indian Waqf Service as
recommended by the Justice Sachar Committee.
4. The earlier RBI proposal of allowing the banks to have a window for
interest less banking should be accepted, approved and implemented by the
central government.
5. The minority character of Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia
Islamia and all other educational institutions established by the minorities
should be accepted, approved and implemented by the central government.
6. Any person who is charged of terror activity and is, after several years
of multi-dimensional sufferance, is exonerated by the court as innocent
should be given Rs fifty lakh as compensation by the government. Later on,
this money should be at least partly deducted from the
salary/pension/provident fund/retirement benefits of the officer(s) who
wrongly implicated him.
7. Through a simple majority vote of parliament, amend the definition of
'Scheduled Caste' as given in para 3 of the Constitution (Scheduled Castes)
Order, 1950 and make this definition religion-neutral. That is to say,
delete the conditionality of religion.
8. Give proportionate share to Muslims in central and state council of
ministers and in all nominated posts and appointments under the state &
central governments.
9. Appoint Equal Opportunity Commission at the centre and in the states as
recommended by Sachar Committee.
