Vice president of Bellower zone Mr. Akhtar Ali has alleged that the scheduled caste Muslim Julla’s, who as per SRO- 294 are entitle for all benefits under this category are not getting due share as they are unable to obtain certificates.

In a press statement, Akhtar Ali said that the Julla community in Muslims was entitled for all benefits under newly amended SRO 294 and appealed to government to consider all members of the community and no discrimination should be done.

“If the Khateeks have been given the schedule cast status why not Julla community” He questioned and said that these people are dealing with their traditional works and some of them are earning bread and butter from selling fishes and are living a miserable life in absence of the proper facilities.

All these community members are living below poverty line and the educational level is very low. “They could hardly make their both ends meet and as such there is no support from the government”, he added.

He said that some of this community members after approaching court could get the certificates but those who are poor are yet to get themselves enrolled as the schedule caste member.
