The progress of the Muslims lies in education and without educating the Muslims, the Country can’t progress. Majority of the people of India is facing hunger and poverty. Cruel attitude has become the fashion of the mighty people and to tolerate cruelty and injustice has become the second nature of the Muslims and other minority communities. There is a need to raise our voice against injustice an cruelty.
We can protect our rights through Human Rights organizations. These thoughts were expressed on the occasion of the inauguration of AP chapter of Human Welfare Foundation.
