New Delhi: Muslims were unnecessarily being portrayed as "terrorists and being termed as responsible for terrorist strikes in the country," a muslim outfit said on Saturday.
M H Jawahirulla, President, Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam, told reporters here that even before proper investigation, police in a hurry arrested muslims and held them responsible for terrorist attacks.
He said his party did not have faith in violence and would never support terrorism. His party in association with several other muslim organisations in the country would take out a rally to Parliament on March 7,demanding exclusive reservation for muslims.
The UPA Government had completed more than two years in office but had not fulfilled its promises to minorities, contained in the common minimum programme, he alleged.It was true that for the first time, the Centre appointed a committee, headed by Justice Rajinder Sachar to find out the socio economic and educational status of muslims.
The committee's findings had brought out facts on the poor educational, social and economic conditions of muslims and established the need for proactive steps for the betterment of muslims, he said.
The rally would emphasise all these points, he said adding on that day, the party would organise a social justice conference at New Delhi, in which several central ministers would be participating.
