Gujarat Accords Minority Status to Jain Community Saturday May 07,2016

Gujarat Government on Saturday May 07,2016 issued a government resolution (GR) giving Minority Status to the Jain community.

Transport Minister and BJP state unit chief Vijay Rupani made the announcement here.


The previous UPA Government at the Centre had conferred the minority status on the community at the national level in January 2014.

"Chief Minister Anandiben Patel today decided to accord the minority status to the Jain community. The matter had been put on hold for some time due to the Patidar reservation agitation," said Transport Minister and BJP state unit chief Vijay Rupani who himself is a Jain.

"A GR has been issued today," he added.
