Congress: CM KCR betraying Muslims

Hyderabad, Jul 02: The Congress party organized a massive rally on Monday asking the TRS Government to fulfill its major electoral promise of giving 12 percent reservation in jobs and education to Muslims of Telangana.

The 'Walk for 12 percent Muslim Reservation', organized by GHCC Minorities Dept chairman Shaik Abdullah Sohail, was led by Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President Capt N Uttam Kumar Reddy.

AICC Telangana Incharge R C Khuntia, AICC Minorities Department chairman Nadeem Javeed, AICC Secretaries Srinivasan Krishnan and Saleem Ahmed, Leader of Opposition in Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir, former PCC Presidents V Hanumantha Rao and Ponnala Lakshmaiah and among others took part in the walk.

The Congress leaders signed a Post Card requesting Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao to fulfill the promise of 12 percent Muslim reservation.

Starting at Gandhi Bhavan, the Congress leaders and thousands of activists walked up to the General Post Office at Abids to drop the postcards in the box. They also raised slogans against the TRS Government and KCR accusing him of cheating the Muslim community.

Later, Uttam Kumar Reddy, along with other senior leaders, addressed a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan accusing the Chief Minister of betraying the Muslim community on the promise of 12 percent quota. He reminded that the Chief Minister had promised to wage a battle with the Central Government for enhanced quota for Muslims.

"What happened to the Tsunami that you threatened to bring if Centre rejects 12 percent Muslim quota? Why did you not hold any protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi? When are you going to take an all-party delegation to Delhi?" he asked.

He said KCR should also apologize for lying in Assembly that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had agreed to enhance Muslim quota.
