Bhopal:
The Millat Bedari Muhim Committee, (MBMC), Aligarh, in a meeting
held at Aligarh on Saturday has whole-heartedly welcomed the
presentation of the Justice Ranganath Mishra Commission Report by
the UPA Government on the last day of the current session of the Lok
Sabha.
According to a Press release of MBMC the office-bearers of the
committee while welcoming the recommendations of the Commission
expressed the view that 10 per cent reservation exclusively for the
Muslims would go a long way in ameliorating their social, economic
and educational status.
THE MBMC demanded the revocation of the Presidential Order of
1950-1951 which discriminates the Scheduled Caste/ Scheduled Tribes
on the basis of religion by denying the benefit to the Christians,
Parsis and Muslims as many castes like “gadaas”, “qabar-khodu”, “saify”,
“teliya” etc. belonging to the Muslim community should also be
entitled to avail the benefits of the reservation under SC/ST
category.
The meeting called upon the Union Government to expedite the
implementation of the report as the report was submitted to the
government as early as 2007 which deserves immediate attention of
the government.
The meeting was presided over by its patron and former Hony.
Secretary of AMU Teachers’ Association Dr. Mohammad Shahid. The
meeting was attended among others by the President Jasim Mohammad,
Secretary Jamal Ansari, Nadeem Khan, Mohammad Farooq Khan, Shahzad
Alam etc.
