Belgavi: Twitter users on Sunday demanded justice for slain 24-year-old youngster Arbaaz of Belagavi who was reportedly murdered brutally by activists of Ram Sena over an alleged inter-faith relationship with a Hindu girl.

The demand soon took pace on the micro-blogging site as hashtag #JusticeForArbaaz was trending with over 25K tweets at the time of posting of this report.

The users slammed the Right-Wing group and their mindset over the incident and compare them to the Taliban.

They further called out the sidelining and harassment of the minority communities in the country under the BJP rule led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Arbaaz was killed earlier last month by the activists of Ram Sena as alleged by his family in their police complaint. Arbaaz was reportedly having a love affair with a girl named Shweta. The family has named the father of Shweta as the main accused in their complaint along with one Maharaj, a local Ram Sena leader, and his aide.

New Delhi: The Chairman of the National Commission for Backward Classes, Hansraj Ahir, has called upon the Karnataka Chief Secretary to elucidate the rationale behind the inclusion of the entire Muslim community in the OBC category in Karnataka.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has levied accusations against the Congress party, alleging the transfer of reservation benefits from other backward classes to their electoral constituencies.

"This is a blatant effort to Islamize India and sow division within the nation. Similar endeavours were undertaken during the UPA government's tenure, which the BJP vehemently opposed. Disregarding the Justice Verma Committee Report and the Sachar Committee Report, this is an attempt by the Congress to plunder the reservation entitlements of other backward classes, SCs, and STs," asserted Uttar Pradesh CM Adityanath.

In response to these developments, the NCBC Chairman has summoned the Chief Secretary of Karnataka, instructing them to furnish a comprehensive report outlining the criteria used to classify the Muslim community as educationally and socially backward, thereby granting them 4 percent reservation under Category 2B.

Karnataka's state government currently extends reservation to 17 socially and educationally backward Muslim communities under Category 1 and 19 communities under Category 2A.
