Muslims and the National Commission for Minorities

Khaleequr Rahman and Wajahat Habeebullah saheb

Senior Congress Leader Khaleequr Rahman has met the Chairperson National Minorities Commission Janab Wajahat Habeebtullah saheb on Dec 5, 2011 and discussed various issues concerning the minorities in the country and specially about the means and the measures with regard to the effective implementation of the PM's 15 point program.

Khaleequr Rahman suggested that an independent board or the corporation should be formed both at the national and the state level for the proper and the effective implementation of the program and the schemes. The monitoring should be on the lines of the PM's 20 Points program and the proper co-ordination between the government, corporations and District collectors must be ensured for the more effective implemention of the programs and the schemes. He said that during the interaction with the people, he found that there is almost zero level awareness among the minorites with regard to the PM's 15 point program. Unless the awareness is created, we can not expect the people to get benefitted from these schemes.

Khaleequr Rahman suggested that more and more youth should be involved by the Commission and their services should be utilised to create the awareness among the minorities and take these schemes to their doorsteps for the optimum utilisation of the schemes. This needs to be done till the awareness is created and a well planned awareness campaign must be launched. There is a need to work at the grassroot level and proper propogation of the schemes under the PM's 15 point program through the extensive coverage in the media. More and More NGO's should be encouraged to work with the Commision. He also urged that the muslim representation at the governance level is almost nil. When the minorties programs and the schems are being drafted by the government, it should be taken into consideration that there should be atleast one minority representative on every such body who can help in formulating more effective and useful schemes for the minorities developemt.

The Chairperson Janab Wajahat Habeebtullah assured Khaleequr Rahman that he would surely consider his suggestions. He also informed khaleequr Rahman that he is visitng Hyderabd on Dec 16, 2011. Khaleequr Rahman requested him to convene a meeting of the minorty representatives and the officials to review the implementation of the schemes and solicit the advices and the suggestions for the proper and more effective implementation of the schemes. Khaleequr Rahman also briefed the NCM Chairperson about the various schemes initiated by our dynamic Chief Minister Shri N.Kiran Kumar Reddy saheb for the benefit and the welfare of the minorities and the NCM Chairperson lauded the initiative and the concern of our beloved CM.

Khaleequr Rahman explained that our beloved leader UPA Chairperson Smt.Sonia Gandhi is always concerned about the welfare of the minorties and it is during the UPA regime that many new schemes have been sanctioned for the upliftment of the minorities. He also informed that Rahul Gandhi is fighting for the cause of Minorities and the secularism and fighting a battle in UP against the most autocratic government of Mayawati under whose rule the minorities especially muslims and the left wing Dalits have been suppressed. Congress has proved that it is the only party in the country who is founded on the principles and the values of the nation building and secularism whereas the BJP and the right wing forces have no idealogy of Nation Building. We have seen what happened during the NDA regime. How can we muslims forget Malegoan, Godhra and the Samjhota Express. The congress throughout the country has been always concerned about the well being and protection of the muslims and it was the congress government in 1993, which formed the National Minorities Commission to safeguards the interests of the Minorities.

Congress has leaders and statesman like Shri Dig Vijaya Singh ji who is considered a messiah of the Minorities especially the muslims in the country. His bold and courageous stand on the muslim issues and especially his support  for the muslim youth who have been harrassed in the name of the terrorism is commendable and laudable and muslims always look upto him for their voice. The conspiracy of the right wing forces and the Mayawati in the UP against the dream of our beloved leader Rahul Gandhi will be defeated by the people of UP in 2012 and the people of UP will teach these facist forces a good lesson. 

The recent allegation of Kambli against Mohammed Azharuddin is nothing but a conspiracy of the right wing forces who are scared of his popularity among the youth and his growing grip in the UP politics. Recently Shri Amaresh Misra, a renowned Historian and a secularist has written an artcile titled Azharuddin and Malegoan which has received overwhelming response from all across the globe.
