AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday demanded job reservation for Muslims in Maharashtra and also called for speeding up the trial of cases against members of the minority community, claiming they were being falsely implicated on terror charges.

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday demanded job reservation for Muslims in Maharashtra and also called for speeding up the trial of cases against members of the minority community, claiming they were being falsely implicated on terror charges.

"We are not against reservation for Marathas. They too should get it. But why are Muslims being left out. Our children should also become IAS and IPS officers, doctors and engineers. That's why we demand reservation," the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen leader said.

He was addressing a gathering of 'Muslim Arakshan Parishad' to demand reservation for the community.

"Even the courts have accepted that Muslims are backward. Give reservation to Marathas but don't forget Muslims," the MP from Hyderabad said.

Owaisi, whose party won two seats in the Maharashtra assembly polls in its maiden outing last year and is planning to expand its influence in the state, said despite Muslims constituting 11 per cent of the population none from the community was occupying any top post in the government.

Lamenting poor representation of Muslims in the state police, Owaisi said, "Our boys are rotting in jails. There is a large percentage of Muslims in Maharashtra's jails. There is no representation of Muslims in police." Claiming that Muslims were being falsely implicated in terror cases, he said, "Mr Prime Minister, NIA and ATS are in your hands. BJP chief Amit Shah can be discharged from Prajapati encounter case in seven months, but the Malegaon blasts case drags on for years."
