Muslim
Forum meets Srikrishna Committee, backs Telangana

Hyderabad:
“Hamara aangan hume dedo” (give us back
our courtyard), was the request made by the Muslim Forum for
Telangana to members of the Srikrishna Committee here on Tuesday.
A delegation of the forum led by its convenor, Lateef Mohd. Khan,
explained to the committee how the social and economic status of
Muslims had deteriorated after Telangana was merged with Andhra.
They explained to the committee how Muslim culture and Urdu language
were relegated to the background and how other regions' politicians
had instigated communal clashes for their political ends.
When the committee members sought their view on Greater Telangana
the delegation opposed it stating that it was a political ploy. A
majority of Muslims in the region were seeking Telangana along with
Hyderabad. “We are the worst sufferers in Andhra Pradesh in
education and employment,” they stated.
"The demand for Telangana is not only democratic but also the birth
right of the people. When the movement entered into a decisive
point, the central government by keeping in view the emotions of
four crores of Telangana people announced the formation of Telangana
state", the Forum said to the panel.
"Whereas, because of the pressure of
the capitalists and ruling class of Andhra, the central government
took U turn and announced the wider consultation, and halted the
formation of Telangana. Due to the above reason, people started
protests and civil war like situation started in this region", they
added.
"Before 1956, during the ‘Hyderabad
State’ the Muslim percentage was 16.34% and were at the forefront in
Education, Employment and Trade fields. Urdu was official language
for 224 years. All the official and government communication and
transactions were carried out in Urdu itself. The court proceedings
and arguments were also conducted in Urdu. During Nizam’s rule,
Hyderabad state was the fifth largest State in India with 16
districts in it. During the amalgamation in Andhra, ours was surplus
budget and Andhra’s was deficit budget", they went on to add.
"After the Police Action in 1948,
Andhras started migrating in employment sector to Hyderabad. Andhras
were recruited in Military and Civil by saying that these region
people do not know English and Telugu. Twenty Eight Thousand
(28,000) Andhra employees were recruited here during 1968 and during
1986. Fifty Nine Thousand (59,000) Andhra and Rayalseema region
people illegally occupied the jobs. During the Nizam rule, Mulki
rules were formed to protect the employment of local people. All the
agreements were violated immediately from the next day of the
formation of United Andhra", they said in front of the committee.

Telangana and Muslims:
As the Telangana
cauldron boils over moves are already afoot to paint the dispute in
communal colors and make the region's Muslims the proverbial
sacrificial lamb. The mainstream media.
