Lalu, Paswan demand Muslim quota within WRB at Jamiat Ulema conf
By Manzar Bilal and Mudassir Rizwan, TwoCircles.net,
Patna: Four days before Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh is holding an all-party meeting to ensure support for passage of the Women Reservation Bill in the coming session of the Parliament, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan yesterday reiterated their demand that without provision for sub-quota for Muslim and backward class women, the Bill will not be acceptable to them. They were addressing Jamiat Ulema conference on Muslim reservation in Patna yesterday.
>
Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind (JUH) organized the massive conference here demanding the government to solve the problems confronting the Muslim community. Reservation for Muslims in education and job, quota within Women Reservation Bill for Muslim and marginalized women and implementation of Urdu language at ground level were top issues raised at the conference held at historic Gandhi Maidan last night.
A number of Muslim, social and political leaders from different parts of the country came to address the conference while thousands of people from across the state were present to listen to them. Despite a call for Bihar bandh by BJP’s youth wing ABVP a massive crowd traveled from distant areas of the state to attend the program which formally began after Maghrib and went on till late night.
Rather than speaking on the topics of the program, political leaders from different parties spent much time on blaming each other. Ironically, these leaders were given unlimited time to speak while prominent personalities who were to speak on Muslim issues either given little time or not at all. Even president of JUH Maulana Qari Usman was given few minutes at the end of the program when the auditorium looked almost empty.
Speaking on the occasion JUH leader and MP Maulana Mahmood Madni said: “To seek reservation for Muslim means to seek reservation for the country because Muslims are second largest community of the country. So, country cannot progress without progress of Muslims. In a scenario, when all other backward people are given reservation then why Muslims cannot be given that? Muslims are backward today because of government’s wrong policies. Therefore it is government’s responsibility to redress the condition of Muslims.”
Rejecting the allegation that he voted for Women Reservation Bill in Rajya Sabha he said:” It is incorrect that I have voted for WRB in the Parliament. Our stand have always been that without due share for weaker section WRB will never be acceptable for us.”
Urging Muslim youths to make all efforts for the success in all fields he said: “Rights are not given but you have to get them. I mean you should create quality within yourselves and get skills of all asperse in such quality that others will be forced to give your rights and take your help unwillingly.”

On ABVP’s opposition to AMU campus in Kishnanganj he said: “AMU campus will be in the favor of all people of the region irrespective of their religions, castes and creeds then what does it mean for this opposition except foolishness? Suppose this centre is going to benefit only to Muslims then also it is in the favor of country. APJ Abul Kalam’f qualification benefited the country or not? I think these people are not well-wishers so we should aware of them and come forward to build a peaceful and beautiful India.
Addressing the gathering LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan said: “If Women Reservation Bill will be implemented in present form, it will affect the Muslims more and their number will come down from 28 to 8. Muslim should be given 10% reservation as Mishra panel recommended. They are trying to create fight between Muslims and other backward class people who are talking about giving 8% reservation to Muslims from 27% which is recommended by Mandal Commission for other backward.”

RJD chief Lalu Perasad expressed his determination to oppose Women Reservation Bill without quota for Muslim and backward women. “Our fight for WRB will continue unless quota within quota is provided. We are ready to be thrown out of parliament but not ready to favor the bill in its present form” he expressed.
Eminent social activist Sawami Agnivesh in his speech criticized those who link religions with terrorism. He also urged Muslims to follow the teachings of prophet Mohammad (PBUH). He said people should come to fight for social evils especially alcohol and dowry.
“I appreciate Nitish Kumar for his progressive works in the state but I condemn his decision to have two shops for wine in every panchayet. He has to ban on such shops otherwise people will never forgive him” he added.

On Muslim Reservation he said: “It is time for Central government to implement Ranganath Mishra Commission recommendation and stop cheating Muslims. Nitish government should also take action in this regard on the pattern of southern states.”
He also condemned ABVP for opposing AMU off-campus in Kishanganj and said they are enemy of education.
“AMU campus will not have only Muslim students then why it is being opposed by a party who is partner in government? It is nothing but dirty politics and putting barrier in the way of progressive step” he said.
Maulana Idris, president Bihar JUH demanded government to give quota for Muslim to reduce their educational and social backwardness. He demanded the state government to give Urdu its due position. “State Government should implement Urdu in all offices and department. Urdu teachers and employees should not be used for other works. Madarsa teachers should be given their due rights. Their salaries must be given at time and equal to school teachers. The construction of boundary walls for graveyards should be completed as soon as possible” he added.
National president of JUH Maulana Qari Usman, JUH general secratry Maulana Hakimuddin, Akhterul Iman, RJD MLA, Sabir Ali, Rajya Sabha MP, and many others also spoke on the occasion.

A massive dharna of Muslim women demanding quota in WRB
By Manzar Bilal and Mudassir Rizwan, TwoCircles.net,
Patna: With enthusiasm and determination Muslim women in Patna today demanded their exclusive shares in Women's Reservation Bill. A number of Muslim women from across the city, mostly burqa wearing, sat on dharna under the banner of Bihar Muslim Khawateen Morcha at Kargil Chowk protesting against the bill in its present form and demanding quota for Muslim and backward women.
In fact, Kargil Chowk is one of the places in the city where agitation is part of daily routine but today’s was especial one as burqa clad Muslim women who are believed to be engaged only with house works were seen full of excitement who came out of their houses and announced that they are ready to fight for their rights on their owns.
They blamed Congress to have secret understanding with BJP to work on anti-Muslim agenda. They demanded the government to reconsider the decision about the bill otherwise they would agitate before state Assembly and Parliament.
“Muslim women have been neglected in the country. Since independence only 16 Muslim women were able to enter the Parliament. Currently, out of 59 women MPs there are only two Muslim women. This disappointing result is because of discrimination has been done with Muslim women. Therefore we demand fair share in the Women's Reservation Bill to make sure our due representation” said Shahzadi Perveen of Digha, who was leading the dharna.
“We are ready to adopt the formula “do or die” for our rights. We salute those who are raising voices for our rights in Parliament and will do jail bharo tahreek if our demand is not fulfilled” she added.
In her welcome speech Ms. Mumtaz Jahan, a ward counciller, said: “Gandhi ji has launched agitation against injustice of British government in Champaran district of Bihar which brought freedom to us now an agitation against dictatorship of elite people has started in the same state which will reach all over the country and finally we will defeat the oppressive forces.”
Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Nazneen Parveen from Phulwari Shareef said: “We are not given our rights being at homes so we came out on the road and we will continue fighting until we are given 10% exclusive quota within 33%. Government should not consider us weak we are daughters of Razia Sultana, Noor Mahal and Chand Bibi Begum and have capacity to fight for justice and cane bring down the government. So, our demand should not be overlooked anymore.”
While Ms. Roohi Parveen said that government should give chances to Muslim women to show their abilities: “We have always been pushed behind. Otherwise, we are not less than others in abilities and capacities. We demand quota in Women's Reservation Bill so that we can take part in the building of society and country.”
“We have been deprived of our rights but now we are not ready to see our new generation dwindling for their rights in their lives. We reject the Women's Reservation Bill in its present form because it will snatch our representation in legislative houses. We will gharao Parliament and will also go to Supreme Court” declared Naghma Khatoo, a ward member.
Besides, many of them also spoke on the occasion. When TwoCircles.net talked to some of them at sideline of the program they all repeated their demand that they want 10% reservation within 33% and for that they are ready to go any extant and to pay any price but they no longer ready to be ignored.
The dharna went at its prime stage when RJD chief Mr. Lalu Prasad along with his wife Mrs. Rabri Devi,ex-Bihar CM and leader of opposition in Bihar Assembly,reached there for few minutes. He was welcomed by program organizers and thanked for his efforts in Parliament for Muslim women.
Mr. Lalu Prasad repeated his stand of quota within quota for marginalized class women and said that he is ready to be thrown out of Parliament but will never ever favor the bill in its present form.
He appreciated the Muslim women present there: “Muslim women from Bihar have led over others to stage such massive dharna for their rights now we will raise the issue in the Parliament in more organize way. For that you have to continue your work at outside the Parliament”
The dharna was also joined by many other RJD leaders including Shakeel Ahmad Khan, spokesperson of RJD, Ghulam Ghose, leader of opposition in Bihar legislative Council, Nihaluddin, RJD MLA, Ram Chander, RJD MLA. They encouraged Muslims women to march ahead for their rights.
