Union Minister Kiran Rijiju
Thiruvananthapuram: Minority communities in the country have often been in the focal point of politics. At the same time, according to Union Parliamentary Affairs and Minority Affairs Minister Kiran Rijiju, the minority is the most lucky people in the country. He said on Thursday that minorities in India are ‘the most lucky people’, because the country offers special schemes and welfare programs for them, which is not anywhere else in the world. Reiju, while addressing the regional review meeting and training workshop on the Prime Minister’s Public Development Program (PMJVK) for the states and union territories of the southern region here, alleged that some people are making false statements that minorities in India are unsafe.
The matter of discrimination against minorities is false
He said, “Some people are making false discussions that minorities in India are not safe.” Some people keep spreading the message that there is discrimination with minority communities, but this is completely a lie. “He said,” On the contrary, minority in India are the luckiest people because other schemes are available for minority communities and separate schemes and special programs for them. There is no separate plan for minorities anywhere in the world. ”
Rijiju gave an example of Kerala
The Minister of Parliamentary Affairs appealed to the people to appreciate the welfare initiatives of both the state and the central governments. He said, “We are lucky that we are Indian citizens, so please remember it, otherwise we will not be able to appreciate the good welfare works of the government, whether they are from the state government or the central government.” The Minister of Minority Affairs, giving the example of Kerala, said that 44 percent of the state’s population is Christian and Muslim, which makes it one of the most minority dominated areas of the country.
He said, “It is natural that more schemes will come to the state.” Rijiju said, “If the Kerala government feels that the Central Government can consider a project or program, then we will definitely pay additional attention in the matter of providing timely assistance.” (Language)
