New Delhi: Supreme Court stated that political statements should not be the issue regarding the scrapping of Muslim quotas in North Karnataka.

The Karnataka government’s decision to scrap the 5% Muslim quota in government jobs and education has caused controversy. Several political leaders, including former chief minister Siddaramaiah, have spoken out against the move.

The state government has argued that the quota is unconstitutional since it is based on religion rather than economic or social status.

However, the Supreme Court has stated that the issue should not be politicized and that the focus should be on the legality of the decision.

The court has asked the Karnataka government to provide a detailed response on the matter and has scheduled the next hearing for May 17.
