JAMMU, July 5: BJP Minority Morcha (Muslim Morcha) National president, Abdul Rasheed Ansari said that the plight of a common Muslim in J&K is miserable as he too is subjected to discrimination.
While addressing the inaugural session of 2-day State Working Committee meeting of the Morcha at Banihal in Ramban district, today Mr Ansari said that it is indeed unfortunate that Jammu & Kashmir has always been run by the Chief Ministers belonging to Muslim community but unfortunately the same community has been made to suffer on account of Government’s policies of discrimination and nepotism.
He said that being a Muslim majority State and with liberal grants from the Centre, it was expected that the common Muslim of Jammu and Kashmir would have emerged as role model and inspiration for his community brothern in other States of India, but the picture that has emerged after 65years of India is just the reverse.
Ashok Koul, in his address, said that the members of Muslim community associated with the BJP are devoting their time in reaching their brethren in each and every nook and corner of the State to educate them about the policies of BJP and a large number of Muslims are coming into Party-fold voluntarily after themselves realizing the people friendly programmes and ideology of this party. They will play very decisive role in the 2014 elections, he added.
Ishtiaq Wani said that the so-called benefits meant for a common Muslim, particularly Gujjar and Bakarwal are being availed by only those handful of families who are directly associated with the political leaders while the genuinely deserving people are ignored and deprived of the same.
