NEW DELHI - The Equal Opportunities Commission that will deal with discrimination on the basis of religion, caste, gender and language, is on way to becoming a reality, Minister for Corporate Affairs and Minority Affairs Salman Khurshid said.

Equal Opportunity Commission is on way soon. We are negotiating with different departments, Khurshid said at a seminar organized by Indo-Arab Economic Cooperation Forum and Institute of Objective Studies Thursday.

The commission will be empowered to deal with discrimination on the basis of religion, caste, gender and language.

It will be the most revolutionary step and will go beyond the regime of reservations. It will have the widest footprint, he said.
