Mujahid conference ends with a call for caste census

The four-day 10th Mujahid State conference organised by the Kerala Nadvathul Mujahideen (KNM) Marakazu Dahwa concluded at Karipur near Kondotty on Sunday making a clarion call for a caste census to ensure equitable justice and opportunities for all sections in the country.

“It is clear why those who make fake campaigns alleging that Muslims wrest undue benefits, are afraid of caste census. A minority upper caste has monopolised the jobs and the educational sector,” the meeting said, reiterating that Muslims are behind the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in government service and education sector across the country. “Only a caste census will expose the truth.”

The conference raised concerns against the practice of including Muslim applicants qualified in general category in the Muslim quota. “This practice is to upset the quota system.” The conference also questioned the denial of opportunities for Muslims in statutory positions in the State’s universities.
