Bhopal: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ruled Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan
Wednesday categorically reiterated that his government would not
implement recommendations of the Sachar Committee describing it as
divisive and leading the country to one more partition.
Chouhan made the declaration
while speaking in the State Assembly after discussions on budget
demands of his departments here on Wednesday.
He said that Madhya Pradesh is the
only state where government schemes are far from castes and
religion premises.
The “Mukhya Mantri Kanyadan” Scheme
benefits both Muslims and Hindus. Expressing his commitment to
welfare of minorities, he said that if needed more schemes would
be launched for their welfare.
He charged that Sachar Committee report was aimed at vote bank
politics. It is a move to divide the society once again while
replying to the debate on budgetary allocations.
Referring to the main opposition Congress party's demand that
Sachar Committee report should be implemented in the state for the
minority community's welfare, Chief Minister said the BJP and he
himself didn't believe in policy of discrimination and division on
the lines of religion and caste.
The Muslims, Hindus as well as other communities were reaping the
benefits of the existing schemes such as “Mukhya Mantri Kanyadan
Yojna” or “Ladli Laxmi Yojana”, he pointed out.
It may be mentioned here that Congress MLA Brajraj Singh Chouhan
had interrupted Chief Minister Chouhan in his vote of thanks on
Governor's address in Madhya Pradesh Vidhan Sabha on March 3
drawing his attention that Sachar Committee Report has not been
implemented in the state so far. Then Chouhan had outright stated
that his government will not implement any such report which gives
impetus to communalism instead of curtailing it.
Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh units of Social Democratic Party of
India, (SDPI), All India Milli Council, (AIMC), and All India
Majlis-e-Tameer-e-Millat, (AIMTM), have condemned the Chief
Minister's stand on not implementing the Sachar Committee Report.
Talking to this Correspondent Adv. Sajid Siddiqui, president SDPI;
Wafa Siddiqui, general secretary AIMC; and Maulana Masih Alam,
vice president AIMTM, have in unison said that this act of the
Chief Minister is an insult of Indian Parliament which had
approved the committee's report for implementation. They said they
would agitate against the Chief Minister's stand on the report.
It may be recalled here that On March 9, 2005, the PMO had issued
the Notification for constitution of the High Level Committee for
preparation
of Report on the Social, Economic and Educational Status of the
Muslim Community of India. Thereafter, on November 17, 2006 the
committee submitted its 403 pages report to the Prime Minister of
India wherein it concluded that the condition of Muslims has been
reduced to the extent that they stand economically, educationally
and socially even below the Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Caste
in the society. The report was later tabled in Parliament with
Action Taken Report.
