Madani said the 50 per cent cap on reservations put by the Supreme Court should not be held sacrosanct and the Government should find means to increase the quota limit to accommodate reservations for Muslims.

On the proposed law to deal with communal violence, Madani said the draft Communal Violence (Prevention, Control and Rehabilitation of Victims) Bill, which is under consideration of Parliament, had major drawbacks and asked the Government to replace it with a Bill having more stringent punishments for those abetting hate crimes.

The Jamiat also opposed the civil nuclear cooperation with the US saying the country had enough resources for power generation and there was no need to get into any such arrangement with a foreign power. "When we are not even utilising all the resources that are available to us, why should we enter into such a degrading agreement with a country like the US," Madani said.
