New Delhi:
States should work in unison with the central government for the
welfare of minorities without caring for credit, Minority Affairs
Minister Salman Khurshid said Friday.
The governments of states and union territories should "work in
unison with the ministry of minority affairs for implementing
various schemes meant for the welfare of the minorities without
indulging in one-upmanship for getting the credit", Khurshid said.
He was speaking at the annual conference of state government
officials for minorities.
The minister claimed that various minority development schemes and
programmes of the central government have begun showing results.
"The percentage of priority sector lending to the persons belonging
to minorities has increased to around 13 and the employment of
minorities in the government and public sector undertakings has also
increased to over nine percent," the minister said.
He emphasized that he would like to see the convergence of interests
of minorities and the majority communities, "as happens in the case
of multi-sectoral development programme where, in a minority
concentration district, the majority community also benefits,
thereby strengthening the social fabric".
The central government has announced various schemes for minority
communities in the country. Of India's 1.2 billion population,
Muslims are the largest minority at 14 percent followed by
Christians at 2.3 percent, Sikhs at 1.9 percent, Buddhists at 0.8
percent, Jains at 0.4 percent and others, including Parsis, at 0.6
percent.
