Kodandaram advocates reservation for Muslims

Hyderabad, June 24:

Telangana Political Joint Action Committee chairman Prof M Kondandaram on Sunday advocated reservation for Muslims in employment and jobs.

Addressing a seminar on the Justice Ranganath Mishra Commission's Report organised by Movement for Peace and Justice here, Prof Kondandaram said that reservation was must for the overall development of the Muslim community in the country.

However, he said that the successive governments have neglected the welfare of Muslims and the Congress party was primarily responsible for the backwardness of the community.

He announced that the TP-JAC would support the movement for the implementation of Justice Ranganath Mishra Commission's Report and fight for the Muslim reservation.

Siasat Daily Editor and TDP polit-bureau member Zahed Ali Khan demanded that the Centre convene a meeting with all the elected representatives to discuss the implementation of Justice Ranganath Mishra Commission's Report at the national level.

He also exhorted the Muslim community to unite to gain political power at the State level. Citing an example, he said the political maturity of Uttar Pradesh Muslims would help the community solve its problems on its own.

TRS Executive Committee Member Dr Chiranjeevi, V Sudhakar of CPI (ML), Hamed Mohammad Khan of MPJ and other leaders participated in the meeting.
