Shia clerics on Sunday organised a convention in Lucknow and demanded reservation in govt jobs and representation in Parliament through a quota for the community. Maulana Kalbe Jawad said the govt keeps on talking about ‘Pasmanda Muslims’, but the fact is that a large number of ‘Pasmandas’ are from the Shia community. “We demand that the youth of the Shia community should get the reservation in govt jobs, reservation in economic packages, seats in parliament and state assembly, and the govt should remove all encroachment from the waqf property,” the Muslim cleric said.
