BJP Minority Morcha to hold yoga camps in UP madrasas
The initiative is part of a wider campaign commemorating 11 years of governance under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
According to Uttar Pradesh BJP Minority Morcha president Basit Ali, the party's outreach will specifically target maulanas and madrasa students, encouraging them to participate in the yoga sessions. These camps aim to create engagement and promote wellness while simultaneously highlighting the Modi government's policies within the minority community.
As part of the broader effort, the Morcha is also launching a campaign titled 'Alpsankhyako ka ye paigaam: Modi ke saath Musalman (Minorities' Message: Muslims are with Modi)'. This drive, focused on building a better understanding and support among Muslims, will roll out across major cities in Uttar Pradesh.
The main event is scheduled to take place in Lucknow on June 12 and will include participation from members of the intellectual community, including doctors, teachers, engineers, and lawyers.
'To mark the 11 years of Prime Minister Modi's governance, the party will organise programmes in all 403 Assembly constituencies, specifically targeting 403 madrasas across Uttar Pradesh. These events will involve maulanas, madrasa students, and local community members, beginning with yoga sessions followed by district-level programs,' Basit Ali told IANS.
One of the standout components of this campaign will be the initiative 'Desh Ka Paigham, Pratibha Ko Samman', which will honour high-achieving individuals from the minority community. This includes meritorious students and those who have become IAS or IPS officers or contributed meaningfully to the country's development.

BJP using Muslim quota to scuttle BC reservations: CM
Hyderabad: Chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Wednesday accused the BJP of not being in favour of enhancing BC reservations. He claimed that BJP MPs from Telangana were trying to scuttle the 42% quota for the community by demanding removal of Muslim reservation in the state. The truth, he argued, was that economically backward Muslims had been given reservation for a long time in BJP-ruled states like Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra. "There is no Muslim reservation at all," Revanth said while talking to reporters in New Delhi. "Reservations are based on socio-economic backwardness. Be it Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Jains, or Buddhists, they follow their religion, and it has nothing to do with reservation."

"The BJP is only trying to stop the 42% quota bills sent by the Telangana govt using the pretext of religious-based Muslim reservation," the chief minister alleged. Revanth is in New Delhi to seek the support of all the opposition parties to exert pressure on the Centre to approve its BC reservation bill in the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Beyond Text Generation: An AI Tool That Helps You Write Better Grammarly Install Now Undo The state govt is keen on 42% BC reservation in local bodies, and education and employment. The chief minister, along with the deputy chief minister, Congress MPs from Telangana, and important leaders, will meet opposition leaders in the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha apart from Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi on Thursday morning. In the evening, they will give a presentation to AICC members from various states on the caste survey and the need to exert pressure on the Centre to approve the two BC Bills. "Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birth state is Gujarat, PM Modi's representing Lok Sabha seat is in Uttar Pradesh, and the RSS national headquarters state is Maharashtra—in all three states, the BJP govt is providing reservations to economically backward Muslims. In an interview, Union home minister Amit Shah said they sere extending Muslim reservations in Gujarat and that they would continue it. Will they suspend Amit Shah from the BJP?" he asked. "The Centre is delaying approval of the two bills sent to it through the governor by the Telangana govt," he added. "The Telangana High Court directed the state govt to complete fixing of reservations in 30 days and the entire panchayat election process in 90 days, before September 30. The ordinance sent to the Telangana governor is aimed at removing the 50% cap on overall reservations fixed by the previous BRS govt in the Panchayat Raj Act of 2018, after which a blanket 42% BC quota can be given. " H e added that the 2029 elections will be a litmus test for all the parties in terms of BC reservations. "The credit should go to Rahul Gandhi, who raised the slogan of a caste census during his Bharat Jodo Yatra and promised the people of Telangana to do it if the Congress is voted to power," he added. "We conducted a scientific and authentic survey. We have our own strategy of making the Modi govt approve the two BC bills." Box: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said on Wednesday his govt made public the caste survey findings on the population of SCs, STs, BCs, Muslims, and others. "However, we cannot make public the personal information and data of the individuals as per the Digital Personal Data Protection Act. But the report submitted by the Justice Sudarshan Reddy-led independent group of experts, which analysed the caste survey data, would be discussed in the cabinet and the assembly, and then we will give access to it to the political parties. "
