Thanks to the efforts of the All India Milli Council (AIMC), the demand for amendments in the Women Reservation Bill 2008 (108th Constitutional Amendment Bill) to make provisions for a sub-quota for Muslim and other backward women within quota for general women is now turning into a mass movement.

Different Muslim organizations, institutions and individuals as well as groups and individuals belonging to other minorities and weaker sections, including Dalits are coordinating with the movement steered by the AIMC. They include both factions of the All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat (AIMMM), Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, both factions of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hadees Hind, Indian Association of Muslim Social Scientists (IAMSS), Movement for Empowerment of Muslim Indians (MOEMIN), Muslim Women’s Welfare Organization, Insan Dost Council, People’s Movement of India (PMI), Dr B R Ambedkar Sewa Dal and Samajik Nayay Morcha.  More...
