    Bengaluru: Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Tuesday lauded the Supreme Court for objecting to the statements of Union Home Minister Amit Shah over Muslim quota during the election campaign in Karnataka.

    “The Supreme Court has objected to Amit Shah’s irresponsible statement over cancellation of Muslim quota of reservation during campaigning.

    “Justice B.V. Nagaratna’s observation to maintain sanctity of the subject when the matter is seized by the court and the political statement in this regard is undesirable is apt,” he said.

    “When the matter is being looked into by the court, the Solicitor General or an advocate can give their opinion. Justice Nagaratna had asked why a third person is intervening in this matter?” Siddaramaiah asked.

    He hoped the Union Home Minister would give his opinion carefully in future.

    Siddaramaiah maintained that the move of the BJP government to withdraw the reservation of Muslims and distribute it to Lingayats and Vokkaligas is nothing but to bring enmity and hatred between communities.

    SC observation on Sikkimese Nepalis: Rijiju says Centre will file review petition

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Amid protests in Sikkim over a reported observation of the Supreme Court referring to Sikkimese Nepalis as “immigrants”, Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Sunday said the Centre is filing a review petition in the apex court to support the state government.

    The state government has already filed a review petition in the apex court on the matter.

    The protests are taking place after the Supreme Court reportedly mentioned the Sikkimese Nepali community as immigrants in an observation on January 13 while extending income tax exemption to all old settlers of the state.

    “I have spoken to CM of Sikkim P S Tamang Golay. Union of India is also filing a Review Petition in Supreme Court to support Sikkim Govt through Solicitor General of India. Govt of India stands with the people of Sikkim,” Rijiju tweeted.

    In another tweet, he assured the people of Sikkim that “this judgment does not deal with or dilute Article 371F of the Constitution (relating to the state) and has nothing to do with anyone’s citizenship.”

    “We value the Constitutional status of every genuine Indian and will be protected at any cost,” he wrote.
