HYDERABAD: The Majlis e Ittehadul Muslimeen Party leadership reacted strongly on Tuesday to the proposed government move to divide the community on caste lines, declare it backward and give reservation in professional colleges and government jobs beginning in July and said it would resist the move.

Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen MP Asaduddin Owaisi said that if the government did not desist from this dangerous approach of dividing Muslims into castes, our party will be constrained to start a public agitation against this move the party treats it as an attack on unity and existence of the community.

In the letter that he wrote to chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy on March 28, Owaisi said that the inaction of the government in pursuing the pending appeal in Supreme Court against the orders of the AP High Court quashing the Muslim Reservations Act has already caused enough heart burn among the Muslims.
