Hyderabad: Mr. Zahid Ali Khan, Editor of Siasat Urdu Daily offered Eid-ul-Azha greetings to all the Muslims and appealed to them to join 12% reservation movement launched by Siasat Urdu Daily to make it a success.
This movement is gathering momentum in various districts of Telangana State and in Hyderabad city. In Eidgah of Bodhan, Nizamabad, a resolution was passed after the Eid prayer in the echoes of “Allahhu Akbar”.
Mr. Zahid Ali Khan also appealed to the Imams of the mosques to highlight the importance of 12% reservations after their Friday Sermons. A general awareness has been created in districts which is evidenced with the presentation of memoranda to Tehsildars, RDOs, District Collectors, Ministers and elected representatives of the people. Muslims are participating in this movement rising above the level of their political association. Mr. Zahid Ali Khan applauded the zeal of the Muslims for this movement and stressed the need for making it successful. He mentioned that it is not possible for the Government to provide 12% reservation to Muslims unless a recommendation is received from BCs Commission justifying the backwardness of the Muslims based on the survey and statistics. If the comparative record of the backwardness of the Muslims is not presented, the issue of 12% reservation to Muslims will be entangled in legal complications.
