I would request the Government to consider this issue. Let there be consultation. It is in the spirit of federalism. I am not going to speak about the federal character of the State and its parameters but it would be understood that in a federal State, an Act should not be such that it would dispense with consultation. Sir, since you are in the Chair, I am sure you would agree with me. I try to accommodate everybody to the best of my ability. But sometimes I have my own limitations. Sir, it is not a question of accommodating. It is already there in the Concurrent List. This aspect should be seriously thought about before the hon. Minister finally asks for the consent of the House to pass this Bill. Hon. Deputy-Speaker, Sir, we are discussing the National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions Bill, 2009. So, it is not for minority students. It is also not in accordance with the recommendations of the Sachar Committee. I do not know whether the hon. Members supporting the Bill are reading it or not. This is meant for the business in the name of the minorities. This is nothing else. This is just to allow the minorities to start colleges in higher education. This is nothing else. This is not for the welfare of the minorities. Can the hon. Minister assure that in these institutions either fifty per cent or sixty per cent or seventy per cent of the minority students will be admitted? Is there any such provision in this? There is no such provision in this. This amendment is only to allow to do some business. There is nothing in this for the welfare of the minorities. It is universally acknowledged that key to progress of any group, whether it be any caste, community or gender, is education. Education is necessary for minorities and others. The rights of minorities.
