Amit Shah, in response to Akhilesh Yadav, says the process of Census has begun. “The government has already taken the decision to conduct the caste census. The Census 2027 is being done with caste in account.”
“If SP has its way, they might even give caste to houses. I want to assure the House that the Census is going to happen with the caste census as well,” he says, taking a jibe at the opposition party.
Based on religion, reservation of any kind for Muslims is unconstitutional, Mr. Shah says.
To this, Mr. Yadav asks whether Muslim population does not come under the 50% bracket. “Let SP give all its tickets to Muslim women, we don’t oppose it,” Mr. Shah retorts.
Speaker Om Birla stops the exchange, asking them not to “debate” in this manner.
