New Delhi: As part of its ongoing two-month long national reservation campaign for Muslims the Popular Front of India (PFI) Delhi unit conducted a rally in the national capital on 7th March demanding immediate implementation of Ranganath Mishra Commission report which has recommended reservation for Muslims. The rally visited Muslim dominated areas like Zakir Negar, Batla House, Abul Fazal and Shaheen Bagh.
Addressing the public meeting at the end of the rally in Shaheen Bagh, Mohammmed Iqbal of PFI said: “Reservation is the most urgent need of the Muslims and it is the best solution for the Muslim emancipation from their ghettos and shanty towns.” He also made it clear that there is no legal problem with providing reservation to Muslims but government needs to make efforts sincerely in this regard.
“The progress of country is tied with the progress of Muslims and in today’s situation reservation is necessary for Muslims’ welfare. If government will not give Muslims their right, they will come out on the road to get that” said PFI district secretary Mr. Jabir.
“We are not in favor of reducing quota of Dalit brothers but demand government to get passed out a bill to increase the number of reserved seats. So that Muslims get benefits like Hindu, Sikh and Buddh” said Mr. Habib.
PFI appealed to the audience to participate the Parliament March of PFI to be held 15th March to press the demand.
