Quota in IITs, IIMs: an international conspiracy: Dr Swamy

NEW DELHI: The move by Human Resources Minister Arjun Singh to set apart quota for backward classes in the prestigious Indian Institute of Technologies , Indian Institute of Managements and private non-minority run higher educational institutions is a ‘part of a sinister international conspiracy to further divide, undermine and ultimately destroy the Hindu society’, according to Dr Subramanian Swamy, President, Janata Party. In statement released to the media on Saturday morning Dr Swamy said that the move was to demoralise the bright Hindu students and discourage innovative minds from the Hindu community for pursuing higher studies. “The move by the UPA Government will drive the Hindu students abroad and convert from the Hindu faith to the Christianity and Islam,” said Dr Swamy.

He also pointed out the discrepancies in the government move which exclude the minorities run institutions from the ambit of the law. ” The intention behind the decision becomes clear when we realise that the reservation order will not apply to Christian and Islamic run institutions, nor would it bar the two religious minorities from being included in the backward class quotas applicable in non-minority run educational establishments. Nor will it apply in universities set up by foreign educational institutions,” Dr Swamy, a former Union Minster for Law told in the statement. He said the law resembled the jezia tax imposed by the Mughal kings on Hindus.

Dr Swamy pointed out with facts and figures the folly behind the reservation system pursued  by the government. “As a former Professor I can say that backward class students cannot be uplifted by quotas but by providing scholarships and free tuition to non-creamy layer students to compete. Mere admission into IITs and IIMs will not do. Rahul Gandhi MP had got into Harvard on the donor’s quota, but failed. He had to drop out in the first year itself. This was because he lacked the necessary Intelligence Quotient to compete at Harvard once admitted,” said Dr Swamy, an internationally acclaimed Professor at the elite Harvard University ion USA.

He came down heavily on Prime Minister Manmohan for being a servile to the Italian woman Antonio Maino who masquerades as an Indian with a fictious name Sonia Gandhi. “This reservation order is aimed at the Hindu society, and the only answer to it is Hindu consolidation and a mindset to vote as Hindus in the forthcoming elections. I condemn the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh for betraying nation in order to kwo-tow to a foreign Christian leader of his,” said Dr Swamy.
