• Article 15(1) of the Indian Constitution prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth. Shah believes that providing reservation specifically to Muslims would go against this clause.
• Shah argues that reservation is meant to be provided to those who are socially and educationally disadvantaged. He states that Muslims as a community are not socially or educationally behind compared to other communities like Dalits or OBCs who are already receiving reservation.
• Shah also holds the view that providing reservation based on religion would go against the principle of secularism enshrined in the Constitution. He believes that the government should not favor or discriminate against any religion or community.
• Finally, Shah cites a Supreme Court judgment that declared providing reservation based on religion unconstitutional.

Overall, Shah believes that providing reservation for Muslims would be discriminatory, unconstitutional and against the principles of secularism.
