The National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) has criticised the decision of the Congress-led government in Karnataka to categorise the Muslim community as a backward caste for reservation purposes, saying it undermined the "principle of social justice". The commission said the move had cost the rights of other backward classes in the state.

In Karnataka, all castes and communities within the Muslim religion have been enlisted as socially and educationally backward classes.
