Lucknow: Releasing a report on the status of the Muslim community in the UP by academics, the AIMIM national Chief Asaduddin Owaisi said the BJP's allegation that the previous governments had appeased the Muslim community is a blatant lie.
He asserted the data to highlight how the Muslim community had faced deliberate discrimination and exploitation by the hands of various political parties for their political gains. Owaisi also demanded all stakeholders who are responsible for putting the community in a state of despair understand the plight of Muslims in Uttar Pradesh.
"The objective of launching this paper is that the government sees a mirror to know the condition of Muslims in UP," he said.
"We would like that this paper – "Situating Development of Muslims in Uttar Pradesh Policy Implications" – is read by policymakers, politicians, and people, so that they know that no Muslims were never appeased in the state," he added.
