The controversial Sachar Committee
sent out a fax to all district
collectors asking them to provide
information on Muslims, scheduled
class, and scheduled tribe populations
within their jurisdiction. The
Bharatiya Janata Party alleged that
this was a "well thought of,
deep-rooted, totally divisive and
dangerous move by the Congress,
initiated to garner Muslim vote bank."
The Committee was ostensibly chartered
with undeclared objectives to
determine the socio-economic status of
Muslims in public sector utility
companies, defense, and Government
institutions. Many political parties
question the motives of the Government
saying that if the Government wants to
study the socio-economic levels of
communities they should evaluate all
of them and not just Muslims.
