Janata Dal leader Kesri Singh Gujjar was also a part of the delegation headed by Rajput. Sharma assured the delegation that he would look into the matter, Rajput told the `Business Standard.

There was no need for a separate reservation for Muslim women as the OBC quota would take care of that he told the President, he said.
