flag BJP demands religious quotas at Hindu shrine-funded medical college after 42 of 50 MBBS seats went to Muslim students, despite merit-based admissions.

flag BJP leaders in Jammu and Kashmir are demanding a review of MBBS admissions at the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence, where 42 of 50 seats went to Muslim students, arguing the shrine-funded institution should reflect its Hindu religious character. flag The BJP and right-wing groups claim the selection contradicts the shrine’s ethos and want changes to laws to allow religious reservations, but officials confirm admissions were merit-based via NEET and that the college lacks minority status, making religious quotas illegal. flag The controversy has sparked protests and political backlash, with regional parties condemning the move as communal and a threat to merit-based education.
