CPI leader and state general secretary of Tanzeem-e-Insaf Nusrath Mohiuddin asked the government to allocate minority budget proportionate to their population in the state. He told that when SC, ST budget is sanctioned proportionate to their population then why minority budget is not sanctioned proportionate to their population.
He claimed that minorities are also Indian citizens but stepmotherly treatment is meted out towards them. He asserted that total state budget is nearly 1.50 lakh crore but for minorities who have nearly 1 crore population, less than 1 percent of the total budget is allocated.
