The Maharashtra government has officially cancelled the 5 percent reservation for Muslims in education and government and semi-government jobs through a new Government Resolution (GR).

The quota was introduced in July 2014 by the then Congress-NCP government for 50 specified Muslim communities under the Special Backward Category-A (SBC-A). Along with a 16 percent Marathas quota, it had increased total reservation in the state from 52 percent to 68 percent. However, the move was challenged in the Bombay High Court for crossing the Supreme Court’s 50 percent cap on reservations. The ordinance later lapsed in December 2014 and was never made into law.

With the new Government Resolution, the state has cancelled all earlier decisions related to the Muslim quota, stopped issuing caste and non-creamy layer certificates under Special backward category - A, and Restricted admissions and recruitments under this category.

Officials called this move as procedural, but the Opposition accused the BJP-led government of being anti-minority. Congress leader Naseem Khan termed the decision “extremely wrong” and claimed minority welfare schemes were also being reduced.

However, the decision has Reopened a political debate in Maharashtra, with the Opposition viewing the cancellation as a setback to minority representation and social justice, even as the government maintains that the move merely formalises a quota that had no legal standing.

The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation, or KSRTC, has revised its luggage fees for passengers across the state.
According to the new update, the corporation has increased the luggage charges by 15 percent. The revised rates will come into effect from February 16.
As per the existing rule, passengers can carry luggage up to 30 kilograms free of cost. However, if the weight exceeds 30 kg, extra charges will apply. These charges are calculated based on distance, which is divided into “stages.” One stage is equal to 6 kilometres.
Under the new fare structure, passengers will now have to pay Rs 6 for stages 1 to 5, which was earlier Rs 5. For stages 6 to 12, the charge has been increased to Rs 12 from Rs 10. For longer distances, such as stages 156 to 160, the luggage fee has gone up to Rs 145 from Rs 123.
KSRTC officials said the hike is part of a revision in operational costs. The decision is expected to impact passengers who travel with heavy luggage on long-distance routes.

“SIR is not to clean voter lists, but to delete voters.”

At a press conference in Bengaluru, Mansoor Ali Khan raised serious concerns about the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. He alleged that instead of cleaning voter rolls, the process is being misused to target specific sections of society.

Speaking alongside Abdul Wajid, he warned that Form 7 is reportedly being misused to delete names of Muslims, Dalits, migrant workers, women, and tribals from voter lists in several states. He urged citizens in Karnataka to stay alert, verify their documents, and ensure their names remain on the electoral rolls.

He also emphasized the need for widespread public awareness campaigns to prevent wrongful deletions and protect voting rights.
