Statement
JCMOE Felicitates the INC and the UPA Government and Offers its Best Wishes for a Successful Term in the Service of the Common Man
New Delhi, 21 May, 2009: Syed Shahabuddin, the Convener of JCMOE, has issued the following statement:
The JCMOE offers it warm felicitations to the Indian National Congress for its historic success in the General Election 2009 under the leadership of Madam Sonia Gandhi and Dr. Manmohan Singh.
.
The JCMOE wishes them success in implementing the Manifesto of the party and completing the unfinished agenda of the last term.
The JCMOE, however, regrets, the poor representation of the Muslim community in the newly elected Parliament and attributes it to the low number of Muslim candidates fielded by the secular parties, the competition among secular parties for Muslim votes and division of Muslim votes at the constituency level on the basis of sects and ‘baradaris’. The JCMOE feels that our democratic and order secular will shine only when Muslims and other religious minorities are fully represented in the political system.
The JCMOE expects due representation of the minorities in the Council of Ministers, particularly in the ministries and departments of special concern to them, like the Human Resource Development, Home Affairs, Law and Judiciary , Information and Broadcasting, Rural and Urban Development, Minority Welfare, Finance and Planning etc.
The JCMOE also takes the opportunity to reiterate its request to the Government to establish a Joint Parliamentary Committee on the Welfare of the Minorities as well as a system of periodical consultation with Muslim organisations of national eminence for mutual benefit.
In particular, the JCMOE requests the Government to table the Report of Jusctice Ranganath Mishra Commission in the parliament to facilitate the evolution of a national consensus on its recommendations specially on the question of reservation in higher education, public employment, bank credit flow and social development benefits.
The JCMOE also requests that at least once a year the Parliament should hold a Discussion on the Situation of the Minorities in the light of the annual reports of various official bodies and programmes like the PM’s New 15 point Programme for the Welfare of the Minorities , the National Commission for Minorities, the Central Wakf Council, the Maulana Azad Foundation, the Commissioner for Linguistic Minorities and the National Minorities Finance and Development Corporation.
The JCMOE recalls the repeated call of the PM for inclusive development with social justice and for power sharing and expresses the hope that with political stability, he shall be able to lead the country forward on his chosen path for the welfare of the Aam Admi and the deprived masses which include 80% of the Muslim Community.
The JCMOE invokes the blessing of Allah for the progress and prosperity of the people, for social peace and communal harmony and for friendly relations with our neighbours.
