Bengaluru, Jan 27: “Karnataka Muslim Jamaat is not a political party or a part of any political party. Our objective is to strive for the welfare of the Muslim community”, said Sulthanul Ulama AP Abubakkar Musliyar.
Declaring open the Karnataka Muslim Jamaat at a programme at Khuddus Saheb maidan here on Sunday, he said that when Muslim Jamaat organization was started in Kerala, they had faced lot of criticism.
But observing the works of the organization, the critics went silent. The government should not neglect the Karnataka Muslim Jamaat. The Muslims have been neglecting in all fields in the country. All communities should get their rights as per the Constitution. “Muslim community is now aware of its rights and duties. We should come together to get our rights. Otherwise, our people have to face the loss”, he opined.
Moulana Syed Noorani Miya Ashrafi said that all 90 lakh Muslims should come together to get their rights in the state. If you don’t raise your voice for this, efforts would be made to suppress your voices. The elected representatives from the community have greater responsibilities of fulfilling the demands of the community. This organization was floated just to guide the Muslims, he said.
Convention convener Moulana NKM Shafi Saadi said that though the Muslim population was 90 lakh in the state, they were being given just 4 per cent reservation in education and employment. In higher education, the Muslims have only 12 per cent, while other backward classes have 22 per cent. In spite of several years of tabling the Sachar Committee report on Muslims, no honest efforts were made to implement it.
Based on the population, the Muslim community should have 40 MLAs. But now, the community has just seven MLAs. The community which has just 3 per cent population had two chief ministers. But the Muslim community was being cornered purposefully. But the organization was not floated for political purpose. Instead, it was floated for the social, educational and economic welfare of the community, he said.
