New Delhi: A fresh debate on the reservation issue may be waiting to be sparked off.

A report submitted to the Prime Minister on Monday recommends that Dalits among Muslims and Christians should be considered for reservation under the Scheduled Caste category.

The National Commission for Religious And Linguistic Minorities, headed by former Chief Justice of India Ranganath Mishra prepared the report and the recommendation was opposed by only one member of the commission.

Until now only Dalits among the Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs get reservation under the scheduled caste category, but now there has been a growing demand to include Muslim Dalits and Christian Dalits in the reserved category too.
