Sachar report likely to be tabled today

NEW DELHI: The Sachar Committee’s report on the socio-economic status of Muslims across the country is expected to be placed in Parliament on Monday.

Parliamentary affairs minister PR Dasmunsi last week said the government plans to table the report on November 27. The report is being tabled when a controversy is raging over reservations for Muslims.

BJP, which accuses the ruling Congress of indulging in politics of minority appeasement, is likely to make the report a major issue. The committee submitted its report on November 17.
