The Congress party on Wednesday found fault with Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao for trying to silence the Muslim community by offering them grand Iftar party on June 26.
Greater Hyderabad Congress Committee leader Abdullah Sohail said that the TRS government had been trying to distract the attention of Muslim community from its failure to provide 12 per cent Muslim reservation.
"Iftar parties and distribution of free clothes among a few poor Muslims are aimed at silencing the rising anger of Muslim community towards the TRS Government.
"KCR had promised to give 12 per cent Muslim reservation within four month after coming to power. He also promised to judicial powers to Wakf Board and made several other promises during the last two years. None of the promises made by TRS Government has been fulfilled. KCR is hosting these Iftar parties only to divert the attention from these failures," he said.
"Muslims are not beggars. We are not seeking any Alms from the government. We are asking for our rightful share in jobs and education. KCR should stop playing the tricks of Iftar parties and deliver what he promised during elections," demanded Abdullah Sohail.
Abdullah Sohail appealed to the common Muslims to boycott the Iftar party being organised by the TRS Government at Nizam College Ground and at all other mosques across the Telangana State.
"KCR is trying to insult the entire community by making a few hundred poor Muslims stand in queue for Ramzan kits. Similarly, he wants the Imams and Maozans, who enjoys great respect within the community, to queue up to collect a small sum of Rs. 1,000. Muslims must understand the psychological and mind game being played by RSS-minded KCR," he said.
