Muslim percentage in govt services declines
Nanpara: The country got freedom in 1947. Muslims at that time formed 33 percent in government services. Thereafter each successive government assured them that they would ameliorate Muslims conditions but today we find that Muslims in government employment have been reduced to only 3 percent. These views were expressed by All India President of Muslim League, Ghulam Mahmood
Banatwala. He said that in UP Muslims are dependent whereas in Kerala we are partners. Though it is the cradle of
Urdu, its pathetic condition can be seen by everybody. Urdu spread in the entire country but no notification has been issued to make it the second official language in UP. He said that the BJP is a danger for democracy and hence it should be defeated. He further said that when no action is taken against mischief mongers, they become bold. He felt sorry that SIMI has been banned and regretted that Muslim are being arrested in the name of
SIMI.
