The State government should include the Mehdavi community in welfare and development scheme for minorities, demanded the Anjuman-e-Mehdavia on Monday.
Talking to media persons at Mehdavi Function Hall, Anjuman president Adil Ali Khan pointed out that the government had been neglecting the 'minority-within-minority' by not including its members in minority institutions like Haj committee, finance corporations etc.
Adil Ali Khan pointed out that there was only one graveyard for members of the Mehdavi community in Ibrahimbagh, Rajendernagar and it was being encroached by some vested interests.
