Pray for 12% quota during Ramzan:Congress to Muslims

​Hyderabad: The Minorities Department of Greater Hyderabad Congress Committee (GHCC) on Friday undertook a massive campaign near major mosques in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, seeking implementation of the TRS promise of 12% reservation to Muslims in the State.
Led by GHCC Minorities Department Chairman Shaik Abdullah Sohail, Congress workers distributed specially designed Ramzan calendars which had an appeal for support for ‘12% Muslim Reservation Campaign’, outside major mosques. "We have distributed nearly one lakh Ramzan calendars, including pocket-sized ones, and appealed to the Muslim community to pray for achievement of reservation to Muslims.
Congress ups the ante against govt through distribution of specially-designed Ramzan calendars
Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao had promised to give 12% quota for Muslims in jobs and education within four months of coming to power. Three academic years have been lost and the State has so far recruited about 5,000 people. But the government does not appear to be keen in hastening the process to provide reservation as promised. We have urged each and every member of the Muslim community to support our campaign and also pray for this objective, during the holy month of Ramzan," said Sohail.
The Ramzan calendars, in different sizes, contain the timings of Saher and Iftar to observe Roza during the holy month. At the bottom of the calendars is an appeal made to the community to support and pray for the campaign for 12% Muslim reservation.
"These calendars will remind the entire community, both at Saher and Iftar times, about the promise of reservation made by the Chief Minister. Our previous campaign of 'One Million Yes for 12% Muslim Reservation' was a huge success and through this special calendar, we want to take our campaign to each and every member of the Muslim community," said Sohail.
He further added that the Ramzan calendars were also being widely circulated on social media networks. He reiterated his appeal to the Muslim community to pray for victory in the ongoing case in the Supreme Court regarding 4% reservation to Muslims and also for 12% Muslim quota, as promised by the TRS Government.
