The Muslim quota bill proposes a 4 per cent reservation for people from the religion in public contracts.

The Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in Karnataka passed the bill amid chaos from the BJP-led opposition.

The passing of the 4% Muslim quota bill attracted protests from the BJP-led Opposition.

According to a report by India Today, the BJP called the 4% Muslim quota 'unconstitutional' and promised to take legal steps against the decision.
