Central Government has allocated 15%
of its fund for Muslim welfare. The Union Rural Development Ministry (headed by
Dr.Raghuvansh Prasad Singh) has identified 3 programmed which will benefit the
community i.e. Indira Awas Yojana (IAY), Sampoorna Grameen Rozgar Yojana (SGRY)
and Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY). In fact the Central Government
has made a 15 point programme for them. The Minority Affairs Minister, AR
Antulay, has announced that the Sachar Committee report will be implemented in
toto in 2007 and since the Minority Affairs Ministry is the nodal agency for
implementation of the 15 point programme, it has advised the Rural Development
Ministry to earmark funds for Muslims. In turn the Rural Development Ministry
has already earmarked Rs.581 crore against which 2.3 lakh houses will be constructed
for poor muslims, under Indira Awas Yojana (IAY). Banks are also under pressure
to give loans that obviously will not be recovered. I am also appalled at the
way some Members of Parliament want to reserve Government jobs & seats for
Higher Education for Muslims, just because they want their votes, stating they
have been found to be 'backward' by the Sachar Committee report. The reason for
the majority of Muslims in India becoming 'backward' is the number of children
they produce. In France, the French Government decided to provide housing for
everyone in the 1960s' & they did fulfil that promise, but while the people
from other Religious backgrounds have found that to be enough, the Muslims
(predomenantly from North Africa) now feel that it is not enough, simply
because they have been producing too many children. The same is going to happen
in India, if Muslims are given reservation or houses are constructed for them
as proposed. One can only imagine how efficient the people in Government jobs
or people who get educated with a 'reserved' seat will be. In fact, one can
already see how a Doctor/Lawyer who got educated with a 'reserved' seat who
tries one's hand at private practice fails miserably, because of their lack of
knowledge. Rolling back reservation for muslims will also be dangerous, because
of the riots that ensue - riots happen even in places like today's partisan
Gujarat, when Muslim shrines are razed. Religion based reservation/house
construction will also bring about large scale conversion to that religion.
Please file a Public Interest Litigation in the Delhi High Court against this
15 point programme or else Manmohan Singh (despite being a follower of Guru
Gobind Singh) will become Aurangzeb II (& India will soon become an Islamic
Republic).The BJP Kerala unit today said it totally rejected the Justice
Rajinder Sachar committee report as the suggestions, if implemented, would
divide the country and create dangerous consequences. Reservation on the basis of religion was
totally rejected by B R Amedkar and Nehru, BJP Kerala unit president P K
Krishnadas told a press meet here. The sugessions of the report were
'impracticable and dangerous' and it would create division in the society, he
said adding the observations about the backwardness of Muslim community was
'unscientific'. He blamed that the religious leaders of the minority community
for the backwardnes of their women in the field of education and securing
employment. Asked how the BJP candidate would
fare in the December four Thiruvmbady byelection, he said that his party would
improve its position. "The committee recommended constitution of
a 'equal opportunity commission' to look into grievances of deprived groups. It
said an example of such a policy tool is the UK Race Relations Act,
1976" Well well, how is the current
state of race relations, with respect to Muslims, in the UK? This is an
indicator of the success of the above said policy tool. It will also be worthwhile to note the number
of muslims volunteering for a career in security forces.If this number is low
nothing can be done. Integration can also be achieved by applying the same set
of laws to all Indians irrespective of their religion. Why this is not
acceptable. Just a recognition of
Madarassa degree won't secure seats, there is a need to regulate what is being
taught in the madarassa. Will this be acceptable? All in all an useless
exercise. Won't serve any purpose. Wow ! that's great news !!! Govt will now
blame the hardworking common man for it's policy failures ! If 60 years of hand
feeding the lazy did not help neither will this work.
How can once excel if you go on pushing them up the ladder ? The Govt must find
means to ensure everyone - particularly the poor receive good modern education
and leave the rest to each person. If they are good they will do well and be
proud about it. This will also not cause any unhealthy competition to grab the
few seats available and also provide the right incentive to the hardworking. I
have seen one eyed and one legged birds survive in the wild so why can't a
perfect man do so ??? It's in your mindset that chains you to old dogmatism and
inability to cope with it. PLS give us break from Muslim / islam.. Sachar
committee should recommend muslims to follow one wife and child and hard work
the way other communities are doing Has
sachar committee found out how non muslim are treated in msulim majority areas.
Or the ratio of children in msulim family than in non muslim family. Pampereing one community under the tag of
Minoritism,freedom of expression and economic backwardness is vote bank
politics. it will serve the purpose of powerhunngry upa traitors. Pls impliment
UCC, make one judicial / education system for every indian. Make edu free and
compulsory for every indian till XII std in cbse schools. make compusolry
family planning irrsepctive of someone' background get red of illegal
immigrnats fro pak , bangadesh, seal borders and stop the cbms especially with
pakistan. povert poverty hunger illness,
economic backwardness are prolbems of every community. and muslims are to be
treated indians not as votebank, minorities or indian muslims. the special
previleges will make muslims think that they are minorities / muslims are not
indians. it will create more hatred and hostality between muslim and non
muslims. It seems politics over the Sachar Committee
report on state of Muslims is far from over and as Uttar Pradesh -- the state
with the highest Muslim population in absolute numbers goes to the polls next
year, the issue of reservation for Muslims in jobs and educational institutions
is more than likely to drag on. Sachar
Committee report on plight of Muslims has already sparked a debate and seeing
the crucial assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh next year it seems Congress
couldn’t have found a better time to woo the Muslim vote-bank. SP leader, Sahid
Siddique said, “After the UP election it would have been possible to have
serious debate. Now it cannot happen. BJP will use it to garner Hindu votes
while Congress will use it to garner Muslim votes. Later Samajwadi Party will
also respond to it.” Left leaders have
also come out in full support of the so called neglected Muslims in India and
want affirmative action. But the principal opposition party, the BJP squarely
blames the Congress for all the ills that could be attached to the sorry state
of affairs of Muslims. Come Wednesday
(Nov 22) and the debate over this issue would go on the over drive when the
winter session of parliament begins.
The NDA led by the BJP has already stated that they will expose the
government for any move on reservations based on religious lines.
