Congressi leader Shabbir Ali said that The quality of education in universities and their rankings have come down due to a shortage of funds and staff. Similarly, the Law & Order situation is in extremely bad shape with incidents of rapes and murders being reported almost every day, he alleged.
“The blame game between TRS and BJP is not going to help the people. Both the govts have made the common people’s lives miserable,” he said while appealing to the people to gherao TRS and BJP leaders whenever they visit their areas in the city or villages.
Shabbir Ali said that the Congress party has planned a series of agitations on public issues. He said massive dharnas have been planned on 5th December on farmers’ issues. Later, the issues related to jobless youth and housing would be taken up.
He also alleged that poor Muslims were being denied a proper share in the weaker section housing programme. He said the previous Congress Govt had reserved 12% of housing units in urban areas and 9% in the rural area for minorities. However, this rule is not being applied anywhere in Telangana.
Further, he said the TRS Govt betrayed the Muslims on the promise of giving a 12% quota. Now it is targeting the existing 4% Muslim reservation implemented by the previous Congress Govt. He said that the State Government was yet to issue a proper clarification on whether or not the Muslim quota in Telangana has been reduced from 4% to 3%.
“Minorities should launch an agitation to protect their rights and share. If the community remains idle, then the TRS Govt will take away everything given by the previous Congress Govt,” he said.
