PARLIAMENT MARCH FOR MUSLIM RESERVATION

By
Delhi: Popular Front of India took out a Parliament March on Monday 15 March 2010 to press the demand for reservation to Muslims in Central Government services and in admission to educational institutions.
The March started from Madya House area at 11 am. The participants carried banners and placards calling for equal justice to Muslims. They raised slogans that Muslims are not asking for any favour, but demanding a constitutional right. They asked if Sachar Committee proved that Muslims are most backward, why the reservation is denied only to Muslims. The March was stopped by police at Jantar Mantar where the protesters listened to leaders.
Popular Front of India chairman E. M. Abdul Rahiman delivered the key note speech. He stated that Justice Ranganath Misra Commission has prescribed the real remedy for Muslim backwardness by recommending 10% reservation to all Muslims all over India in central government services and central educational institutions. The report was in the parliament during the previous session. But it lies on the table of the parliament as an orphan or as a dead body. The government need not even wait for an approval of the parliament for giving reservation to Muslims. If the nuclear deal can be signed without the consent of the parliament, why the Honourable Prime Minister seek a national consensus on the Muslim reservation issue? How can a secular government wait for consent from the communal BJP and its allies? He reminded that the ruling UPA has to fulfill its commitment contained in the manifesto released prior to last Lok Sabha elections. He quoted the following lines from the manifesto: "The Indian National Congress has pioneered reservations for minorities in Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh in government employment and education on the basis of their social and economic backwardness. We are committed to adopt this policy at the national level.”
A delegation of Popular Front later submitted a memorandum to the Prime Minister urging an early executive order earmarking 10% reservation for Muslims in central services and educational institutions.
A Campaign for Muslim Reservation is going on under the auspices of Popular Front of India during the months of February and March. Various public awareness programmes such as street meetings, vehicle caravans, rallies, seminars, street plays, pamphlets, posters, exhibitions and cultural shows were held state wide in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Pondicherry, Karnataka, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Manipur, West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi. The campaign meetings and rallies witnessed large turnout of masses in all parts of the country.
Finally the memorandum was submitted in the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s Office by K.M. Sheriff – National General Secretary, Popular Front of India along with Hafiz Mohamed Haneef – State President, Popular Front, Rajastan and Sahabuddin, – State President, Popular Front, West Bengal.

Popular Front of India Gulbarga strongly condemns the brutal lynching of 2 Muslim cattle traders by the members of right wing in Balumath ,Latehar, Jharkhand. The unruly mobs of bhagva goons are destroying India’s peaceful environment and social structure. The BJP government at the centre has failed miserably in reining in the Bhagva goons who have wreaked havoc over the citizen’s peace and security. Successful protest in Gulbarga.
