Include Minorities In Recent GOs: Amer Ali Khan

MLC Amer Ali Khan today submitted a letter to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, urging immediate action to address the omission of the term "minorities" in two recent GOs issued by the State government.

Khan pointed out the exclusion of minorities in GO 18, issued by the Planning Department on October 10, 2024. This order pertained to a comprehensive household survey covering socio-economic, educational, employment, political and caste data across the State but made no mention of minority communities. Khan also expressed concern over GO 33, issued by the Transport, Roads & Buildings Department on October 11, 2024, which outlined financial assistance for the construction of houses under the Indiramma Indlu housing scheme, yet again omitting reference to minority communities.

Khan emphasized that the Congress government had always been committed to the welfare of minorities and requested that the CM intervene to correct these omissions. He urged the inclusion of "minorities" in both GOs to safeguard their rights, as guaranteed by the Constitution of India.

"The Congress government has always been inclusive and concerned with the development of all communities, including minorities. Ensuring the inclusion of minorities in these GOs is essential to guarantee the development and welfare of all communities," Khan added.
