Chief Shahar Quazi of Jaipur Khalid Usmani demands more share in cabinet for Muslims

The Muslim community has called upon the government to be more inclusive towards the Muslim community that has supported the Congress in the assembly elections. Chief Shahar Quazi of Jaipur Khalid Usmani had demanded more share for members of the community in the cabinet and other government nominations.

Addressing a press conference in Jaipur on Friday, he said, “We had demanded tickets in proportion to our population, but it was not given. We are however grateful to the Congress that 16 candidates were given tickets and 8 have won in the elections. But we are pained that only one of the MLAs of our community has been made a minister that too with a ministry that is not weighty. Talented Muslim MLAs have been neglected. We urge chief minister Ashok Gehlot that they should be given place in the cabinet that is consumerate to their capabilities.”

He added, “The government has appointed aditional advocate generals but there is no Muslim among them. I would urge the CM that there are very talented advocates from the Muslim community and they should also be included at various posts including government advocates.”

“We would like to say that the Muslim community has supported the Congress and would like to tell in the upcoming 2019 elections too that we would do it, but the community too needs to feel part of the government,” added the chief Quazi.
