THE BANGALORE METRO REPORTER 

KARNATAKA MINORITIES COMMISSION 

THE CURIOUS CASE OF DEVAKI JAIN.... 


One feel shocked at the nomination of Devaki Jain, a Brahmin by birth, to the Karnataka Minorities Commission. She has been brought to the commission as a representative of Jains which is also a minority community. She can not be considered a Jain just because she had married a jain and following the jain religion. 

Despite her ineligibility to become a member of the Minority commission, Prof.Mumtaz Ali Khan, the Wakf Minister is backing her to the hil despite protests by few jain institutions and persons. if this trend continues, a day will not be far off when a Vokkaliga or a lingayat or people of any community other than minorities can boss over Minority Commission. it is time Prof. Mumtaz Ali Khan see the reason and act in the interest of the Minorities.
