Hyderabad : – In response to recent statements by BRS Working President K. Tarakarama Rao (KTR) alleging neglect of minority leaders by the Congress party, Congress senior leader and Advisor to the Telangana Government (SC, ST, BC & Minorities), Mohammed Ali Shabbir, held a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan on Tuesday.
Shabbir Ali strongly condemned KTR for attempting to create division within the Congress party by making baseless allegations of neglect towards minority leaders. Ali countered KTR’s sympathy claims, revealing details of KCR’s alleged attempts to end his political career by strategically contesting against him in Kamareddy. Despite losing the election, Ali emphasized the Congress party’s commitment to recognizing and rewarding dedicated leaders.
Ali dismissed KTR’s accusations of neglecting minorities, stating that the Congress Government, in its 50 days in power, has taken significant steps for minority welfare. He pointed out key appointments, including a Muslim advocate as Additional Advocate General and representation in the Telangana Public Service Commission.
Shabbir Ali accused BRS of destroying institutions related to minority welfare during its governance. He highlighted alleged neglect of bodies like the Minority Welfare Department, Urdu Academy, Minorities Finance Corporation, SETWIN, and Haj Committee.
Ali challenged KTR to clarify KCR’s contested actions against him before addressing minority issues. He asserted that the Congress Government would expose BRS’s alleged failures and false claims of development.
Emphasizing the Congress party’s commitment, Ali mentioned ongoing efforts and plans to appoint a significant number of Muslims to various corporations, ensuring inclusive representation.
As political tensions rise, Shabbir Ali’s press conference serves as a robust response to KTR’s accusations, providing insights into the Congress party’s stance on minority issues and its dedication to inclusive governance.
