Lucknow: The backward section of Muslims received a shot in the arm with Justice Rajinder Sachar advocating for their upliftment on Thursday. Justice Sachar was in Lucknow to attend ‘Pasmanda Jagao- Desh Bachao’ conference organised by All India Pasmanda Muslim Mahaz.
Addressing the audience, he said that in the present time, condition of the backward Muslims is pathetic and there is a need to look after them. Regarding the blockades in the development of backward Muslims he remarked: “When the backward Muslims raised their voices against their backwardness then it is said by many that it is conspiracy to divide Muslims. None has tried to divide Muslims. Backward people of every religion have the right to raise their voice against their backwardness.”
While quoting a verse of Holy Quran, he said that God never changes the destiny of that community who never do efforts to change their destiny.
Renowned election analyst Rajendra Yadav said that backward Muslims are the most backward in the society because some of the people of high castes had snatched their right. “I am not in the favour of giving minority reservation to every Muslim as through this there would be no benefit for the backward Muslims,” he added.
Organiser of the conference, Anees Mansuri said that some high caste Muslims sitting in the state and central government posts have benefited their family persons only and in reality Muslim politicians who present themselves as the messiah of the Muslim community, have not done anything for the development of the community. “Now the backward Muslims will fight for their rights and will teach these so called politicians a lesson,” he added.
