Shabbir Ali accuses BRS govt. of neglecting minority welfare, promises steps for their upliftment

Adviser to Telangana government (SC, ST, BC & Minorities) Mohammed Ali Shabbir announced steps to ensure fast-paced growth of SCs, STs, BCs and minorities in Telangana. He accused the previous BRS government of neglecting minority welfare.

Speaking to the media after conducting a review meeting with officials concerned here on Wednesday, he said that the ‘Garden View Wakf Mall’, which has been pending for the last 17 years, would be completed soon. He said that he was instrumental in purchasing two land parcels for Haj House at a cost of over ₹22 crore.

He accused the BRS government of keeping the Garden View Wakf Mall project on the back burner for almost 10 years. “I have directed officials to take all steps to complete the works at the earliest,” he said, and informed that arrears of ₹7.35 crore had been released towards honorarium for 13,735 Imams and Muezzins in the State.
