Former Minister, Mohammed Ali Shabbir called upon Muslims to boycott the Iftar to be hosted by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao to protest against the threat to the continuance of 4% Muslim reservation due to the demand for changes to the Constitution.
Mr. Shabbir Ali said that the 4% quota in jobs and education for poor Muslims under the BC-E category introduced by the previous Congress regime in 2004, was under serious threat with the CM calling for changes to the Indian Constitution. “TRS promised to increase Muslim reservations but failed to do so. Are you confining Muslims’ betterment to Iftar parties,” he asked the CM.
Earlier, he released a poster on the selection of 1,073 Muslim candidates for the MBBS course for the Academic Year 2021-22 in the presence of Hyderabad City Congress Committee (HCCC) Minorities' Dept Chairman Sameer Waliullah, TPCC Spokesperson Syed Nizamuddin and Mateen Shareef.
