Vijayawada: An extended meeting of the Muslim intellectuals here on Thursday urged the State government to increase their reservations from the present 4 per cent to 8 per cent. The meeting also appealed to the government to allocate Rs 1,000 crore for the Muslims welfare.
The meeting, attended by leaders of various professions, expressed concern over the government not giving legal status to their 4 per cent reservations.
