Only Congress Can Ensure Protection, Justice For Minorities: Newly Appointed TPCC Office Bearers
Hyderabad, June 12 (Maxim News): Senior Muslim leaders of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) on Thursday asserted that only the Congress party had the vision, commitment, and track record to ensure justice, protection, and genuine empowerment of minorities in Telangana.
Interacting with the media persons at Gandhi Bhavan, the newly appointed TPCC Vice Presidents and General Secretaries praised the Congress government for its inclusive governance and historic welfare initiatives aimed at the socio-economic upliftment of minorities.
The interaction was hosted by TPCC Official Spokesperson Syed Nizamuddin, who facilitated a dialogue between the media and the newly appointed Muslim office bearers. Prominent among those who participated were TPCC Vice Presidents Nawab Mujahed Alam Khan and Afser Yousuf Zai, along with General Secretaries Mohammed Abdul Faheem, Mohammed Asaduddin, Rahmath Hussain, and Mohammed Sabir Ali.
Speaking on the occasion, Syed Nizamuddin said that the Congress party has a legacy of safeguarding minority rights and promoting inclusive development. He said the newly appointed Muslim leaders in the TPCC bring with them years of grassroots experience and social commitment, and their elevation reflects the Congress party’s dedication to ensuring political representation for every section of society. “Congress is the only party that not only talks about minority welfare but actually delivers it through policy, budget, and political empowerment,” he stated.
Nizamuddin also said that the Congress government, under the leadership of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, has been proactive in reviving public confidence among minorities, especially the youth, who had lost faith during the previous regime. He emphasised that the allocation of Rs 840 crore for minority self-employment schemes was a transformative step that could redefine the economic future of thousands of underprivileged families.
He strongly condemned the propaganda being spread by opposition parties and said such efforts were aimed at creating confusion among minorities. “No amount of misinformation can hide the fact that Telangana is witnessing a renewed focus on secular, inclusive governance. The Congress government is committed to maintaining communal harmony and will not tolerate any attempt to polarise society,” he added.

The leaders said that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has shown a genuine commitment to the welfare of minorities, translating promises into concrete actions. They pointed out that the Congress government had increased the budget for Minority Welfare to a record Rs 3,591 crore for the financial year 2025-26 – a significant leap from previous allocations. “This is not just a symbolic gesture but a clear sign of political will to address the long-standing neglect of the Muslim community,” said Mujahed Alam Khan.
One of the key highlights discussed was the unprecedented allocation of Rs 840 crore under the Rajiv Yuva Vikasam scheme for self-employment initiatives for minority youth. “No other government in India has allocated such a massive amount exclusively for the self-employment and economic empowerment of minorities. This is proof that the Congress is serious about helping minority youth achieve financial independence,” said Afser Yousuf Zai.
The leaders further elaborated on the series of welfare measures that have directly benefited the minority communities. These include the revival of Indiramma housing for the poor, free fine rice distribution, subsidized gas cylinders at Rs 500, and 200 units of free electricity for eligible households. “Unlike previous regimes, the Congress is ensuring that every welfare scheme is inclusive. Minorities are being treated not as a vote bank, but as equal stakeholders in the development of Telangana,” said Mohammed Abdul Faheem.
Responding to criticisms by opposition parties, the newly appointed office bearers condemned what they described as a malicious campaign to defame the Congress government. “The opposition is rattled by the popularity of Congress-led welfare initiatives and is resorting to baseless allegations. The truth is, Congress is delivering on its promises with honesty and transparency,” said Mohammed Asaduddin.
The leaders also underscored the government’s firm stance against communal violence. “Congress has always stood for secularism and social harmony. The Revanth Reddy-led government is taking swift and strong action against any attempts to disrupt communal peace. Wherever incidents have occurred, prompt action has followed,” noted Rahmath Hussain.
In conclusion, the TPCC Muslim leaders reaffirmed their faith in the Congress party’s leadership and its ability to bring lasting change to Telangana’s minority communities. They called upon the community to remain united and support the government’s initiatives aimed at justice, empowerment, and equal opportunity.
“The time for tokenism is over. Under Congress rule, minorities are not just being heard – they are being empowered,” said Mohammed Sabir Ali.(Maxim News)
