Published

on

Mumbai: The minority Muslim community is deeply disappointed with the 2020-21 budget presented by the Mahagathbandhan government of the state on Monday, as not a single new announcement has been made for the minority community in it. Samajwadi Party MLA Rais Shaikh also said that the government is deliberately ignoring the pending demands by remaining silent.

Commenting on the budget, MLA Rais Shaikh said that only adequate funds have been provided for the Minority Research and Training Institute in the budget. MLA Shaikh said that there is no clarity on how much money will be made available and which schemes will be implemented. Apart from this, MLA Shaikh said that the budget does not include any other announcement or pending demand for Muslims.

The Mahagathbandhan government has ignored many important issues of the minority community. MLA Shaikh alleged that the Mahagathbandhan government has given a lot of emphasis to the demands of the minority community in the budget, such as funds for the Waqf Board, modernization of madrasas, socio-economic survey of the Muslim community, Muslim reservation, etc.

MLA Shaikh also said that although it has been announced to implement a scholarship scheme for foreign education for students of minority communities from 2024-25, it has not been discussed in detail in today’s budget.
