Hyderabad: All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen Party (AIMIM) President and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi lambasted at Prime Minister Modi, saying that in last four years his government has done nothing for minorities and Muslims.
‘CRPF, CISF, ITBP, PSBs these are all under Central Government, I challenge Centre to issue the data’, in last four years how many recruitment of minorities have taken place.”
Owaisi said despite the prime minister’s 15-Point Programme expressly stating that all efforts would be made to increase the share of the minorities in central government jobs, little was done about it. The BJP-led NDA government came to power in May 2014.
“CRPF, CISF, ITPB, they all come under central government. You (the BJP) have been in office for the last four years. The prime minister loudly claims he would like to give Quran in one hand and computer in the other. So, what have you done (for Muslims) in the last four years?
“In the last four years, under central sector, whether banks, whether railways, central paramilitary forces….How many recruitments of minorities have taken place?” Owaisi told reporters in Hyderabad.
Owaisi claimed the current NDA dispensation discontinued the practice of issuing data on minorities in government jobs.

“You see the website of Ministry of Minority Affairs where data on how many from minorities, including Muslims and Christians, got jobs in various government departments. It used to be given till 2013,” he said.
He also said the government should release data of recruitment to banks, the railways and other PSUs to reveal how many minorities have been recruited. “The BJP is not doing justice to minorities. I have all the right to question the government,” Mr Owaisi said.
