Shahi attack!

I met Shahi Imam of Delhi’s Jama Masjid Syed Ahmed Shah Bukhari. He wanted the following:

• Economic package for riot-hit Muslims on the line of one given to victims of 1984 anti-Sikh riots


• Reservation of jobs for Muslims in central and state governments.


• Immediate release of Muslims detained under Prevention of Terrorism Act in Gujarat and Maharashtra.


• Immediate halt to alleged atrocities on Muslims in Assam on the plea of checking foreign nationals,


• Restoration of the minority status for Aligarh Muslim University.


• Unconditional talks with "popular and responsible" leaders of Kashmir.


• Evacuation of illegal occupants from Waqf properties.

I couldn’t resist it. I asked him his Islamic view on the raising the height of the Narmada Dam. He later went out and fought with the journalist. Amazing chap.

Anyway, I preached the CII representatives on affirmative action. We will soon see data on caste, religion and even color in their annual report. Positive discrimination is called affirmative action.
