APCC to implead in minority quota case
AP Congress Committee is planning to implead in the ongoing minority reservations case in the Supreme Court in view of the interests of minority community.

New Delhi: AP Congress Committee is planning to implead in the ongoing minority reservations case in the Supreme Court in view of the interests of minority community. A team of PCC office bearers led by PCC chief N Raghuveera Reddy here on Thursday met AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi in this regard and explained to him the necessity to intervene.
They told him how the students from minority communities were benefited when the then Congress government provided reservations for them in education after coming back to power in united AP in 2004. Rahul Gandhi reportedly assured them of full cooperation of the high command in this regard and called up senior Congress leader and former Minister, Salman Khurshid, and summoned him to the party headquarters to chalk out the legal recourse.
Salman Khurshid rushed to the AICC headquarters at 5 pm and was closeted with the APCC leaders and the party general secretary, Digvijay Singh, to discuss the issue. They felt that even if the Centre were to be reluctant to effectively put forth its arguments in the case as and when it came up, the Congress would take it upon itself to come to the aid of the minority community in this case, Raghuveera Reddy later told media.
