Chief Minister convenes meeting on May 4
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has convened an all-party meeting on May 4 to discuss the issue precipitated by the recent High Court order striking down the 80:20 ratio of merit-cum-means scholarship for educationally disadvantaged and needy Muslim and Latin Catholic Christian students, including those hailing from the converted Christian community, respectively. The order threatened to drastically reduce the minority scholarship quota for Muslims, a crucial demographic in Kerala, from 80% to 58.67%.More Related News
