BJP assures political representation to Pasmanda Muslims
1 2 Patna: BJP on Monday reiterated its commitment to equality, dialogue and development while working for the interest of Pasmanda Muslim community in the state. Addressing the members of Pasmanda Muslim community at the party headquarters here, BJP state president Dilip Kumar Jaiswal accused the RJD-Congress of always doing politics in the name of Muslims, but making no real efforts to uplift the Pasmanda Muslims in Bihar. Jaiswal also assured them of political representation in the state. A large number of people belonging to the Pasmanda community joined the BJP during the conference. Jaiswal said the term Pasmanda means "those who were left behind". While they were frequently used in politics, they were never given political representation, Jaiswal said and added that it was only after the NDA came to power that reservations were extended to them. After jointly inaugurating the conference with Jaiswal, deputy CM Samrat Choudhary said the RJD was engaged in vote bank politics by spreading confusion against the new Waqf law, which is in favour of poor Muslims. He said the NDA govt gave reservation to Pasmada Muslims in Bihar. BJP minority morcha state president Mohammad Kamruzama Ansari and the party's state media in charge, Danish Eqbal, also addressed the gathering. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Grays: If You Were Born Between 1945-1974 You Could Be Eligible For This British Seniors Get Quote Undo Danish said the Pasmanda Muslims constituted more than 70% of the total Muslim population, yet they remained backward and the vote bank politics ruined them. "Ironically, it is their own upper class that exploited them, but this has never been openly discussed," he said. "They are denied equal rights and are looked down upon. This entire section remains marginalised. Since the NDA came to power at the Centre and in Bihar, efforts have been made to ensure their development in the spirit of 'sabka saath, sabka vikas'," he said. BJP minority morcha national media co-in charge Noor Alam, Pasmanda community leaders like Ghulam Sarwar Ansari, Sabbir Panwariya, Iqbal Ansari, Hasim Hakku, Wasim Raza, Shabbir, Gyaddeen Hakku, along with hundreds of representatives from various districts of Bihar attended the conference.

Memorial to be built in honour of Kharwar brothers: Jaiswal
Patna: State BJP president Dilip Kumar Jaiswal on Sunday said a memorial would be constructed in the state to commemorate contributions of two brothers from the Kharwar tribe, Nilambar and Pitambar, in the freedom struggle. Jaiswal announced this while addressing a convention of Kharwar tribe here. He also said a committee headed by members of Kharwar tribe would be set up to look into their problems, and follow up action would be taken to find solutions to them. Although the Kharwars are mostly found in the Bhagalpur and Munger divisions, their maximum concentration is in the Pirpainty assembly constituency of Bhagalpur district and Manihari in Kathar district. Both the constituencies, earlier, were general seats, but Pirpainty was later made a reserved seat for the scheduled caste people, and Manihari was designated as scheduled tribe (ST) seat. Incidentally, Kharwars were earlier put in the category of SC group, but after a long campaign and social mobilisation done by former CPI MLA of Pirpainty, Ambika Mandal, the Kharwar was notified as an ST group.
