Supreme Court of India issued a notice to the Union Government, asking for their response in a plea that said those Dalit Hindus who had converted to Christianity or Islam should be given the same reservation benefits as extended to the Scheduled Caste (SC) category.
In 2010, BJP had revolted against Ranganath Mishra Commission report that recommended reservation for "Dalits from all communities", including Christians and Muslims.
Speaking to OpIndia, Bajrang Dal leader said that since the Sadhu was new in the area, he was not aware the said area was 'Muslim dominated' and accidentally ended up there for Janmashtami donation drive.
