Reservation is the legitimate right of every Muslim - K M Shareef

By Muhammed Iqbal

Dammam February 1, 2010: Indian Muslims played a significant role in Indias Freedom struggle. Many political parties ruled India after Independence, but no one was succeeded to maintain secularism. Even though Constitution of India stresses the security for minorities, the fascist elements are in full pledge to weaken all the efforts and succeeded in their efforts, opined Mr. K M Shareef, General Secretary, Popular Front of India while addressing the crowd in a public program Reservation - Muslims Rights which was organized by India Fraternity Forum on 29th January in Dammam.

The program was conducted to enlighten fellow Indian nationals about Muslim Reservation taken in context of the Justice Ranganath Mishra Commission Report which has recommended 10% reservation to all Muslims in education and government employment.

On this occasion Mr. K M Shareef added that Indian Constitution guarantees religious, social and economic rights to minorities, but unfortunately these rights are blocked by anti-Muslim elements in India. During his remarkable speech, he enlightened Sachar Report, & according to this report the major problems faced by Indian Muslims are Identity, Equity and Security, which is mainly due to capitalism and communalism & Indian Muslims also face allegations like Anti-Nationalism, betrayal and appeasement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In order to overcome all these problems Mr. K.M Sharief urged all Muslims to fight for reservation in field of education and government employment which is also recommended in Ranganath Misra Commission report.

Moulana Zafarulla Qassimi, Northern state president of IFF, while inaugurating the program appealed all Muslim organizations to forget differences within selves and asked to put a unified struggle to fight and get our rights at this moment.

Moosa Kutty, Central Coordinator IFF, Jahfar Sadiq Faizi, Member of All India Imams Council and Mohammed Ashraf were among others who were present on the dais.

The program began with Quran recitation by Brother Abdul Khader. Mohammed Sharief gave a short preface for the program and welcomed the gathering & Mr. Mohammed Ashraf presented the vote of thanks. The event was nicely anchored by Mohammed Ashraf, Jubail.
