After over three hours of discussion many suggestions and ideas emerged, there was almost unanimous support for the creation of Telangana by all the attendees. The attendees, however, felt that after formation of Telangana they don’t want to witness the same sort of problems that the Muslim community has been facing in United Andhra Pradesh, which is caused by extreme neglect by the government, leading to backwardness and poverty.
Participants were of the opinion that if Telangana is to be created they want certain safeguards including; political reservation in the Assembly, Parliament, local bodies and proper representation according to their population in all walks of life including appointment to committees and different government posts.
They further demanded that no decision on Telangana should be taken without consulting representatives of all districts of Telangana, they were of the opinion that the domestic problems of a person can only be seen and addressed by himself and not by outsiders. They therefore demanded that government and political parties to consult them before taking any important decisions that affect their lives and welfare.
The meeting further decided that the Sangam should establish branches in all Districts and towns of Andhra Pradesh, so that it can better address the problems being faced by the rural Muslim community.
