A Parliamentary Standing Committee has pulled up the government for mere lip service to the recommendations of the Justice Rajinder Sachar Committee. The panel had been set up in 2005 by the government to study the status of Muslims in India.

The committee has pointed out that the government was not attending to the "crux of the problems" brought out in the report.

In a report tabled in both the Houses of Parliament, the Committee on Social Justice and Empowerment slammed the Minority Affairs Ministry, stating "all the recommendations of the Sachar Committee are not being implemented seriously except for certain schemes like the scholarship and the scheme of grant-in-aid through Maulana Azad Foundation."
