Congress Govt will ensure the protection and welfare of minorities: Uttam
Hyderabad, December 24: Irrigation and Civil Supplies Minister Capt. N Uttam Kumar Reddy underscored the commitment of the new Congress Government in Telangana to the welfare and well-being of all minority communities in the state.
He was speaking to media persons after meeting Cardinal Poola Anthony, the Head of the Catholic Christian Community in South India, here on Sunday to greet him and the entire Christian community on the eve of Christmas.
Uttam Kumar Reddy emphasized the truly secular nature of the Congress party, expressing its dedication to providing equal opportunities for all communities, particularly minorities. He highlighted the Congress party’s historical record of treating all communities fairly and ensured that Christians and other minorities would be granted protection and safety for their rights, properties, and religious freedom.
Asserting the fulfillment of specific promises made to minorities, particularly the Christian community, during elections, Uttam Kumar Reddy criticized the BJP-led government at the Center for allegedly fostering a sense of insecurity among minorities. He cited incidents such as attacks on pastors and accused the BJP of not taking prompt action. In contrast, he assured that the Congress Government in Telangana would adopt a zero-tolerance approach towards incidents of hatred and religious discrimination, ensuring total protection and welfare of all communities.
In extending warm wishes for Christmas and the approaching New Year, the minister conveyed his greetings to the Christian community across Telangana. (Maxim News)
