Shabbir Ali the Congress leader said that the Minorities Declaration of the Congress party would be a comprehensive and would prove to be a vision document which would ensure safety, growth and prosperity of all minorities including Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Jains, etc., “
All the promises which would be made in the Declaration will be practical and they will be implemented 100%,” he said.
He said that the overwhelming response to the draft of the Minorities Declaration clearly shows that minorities in Telangana feel betrayed by the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government and want to throw it out in the next Assembly elections. “The variety of suggestions show that the welfare of minorities, who constitute nearly 14% of the total population in Telangana, remained neglected under the BRS regime and the next Congress government would need to do a lot of work to bring them back to the path of development,” he said.
