Hyderabad, January 7: Former Minister & ex-Leader of Opposition in Telangana Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir said that the Congress party has ensured political empowerment of socially and economically backward Muslims in both the Telugu States of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Shabbir Ali, in a video message released on social media platforms, informed that as many as 43 Muslim corporators were elected in the recently held elections for Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). He said the number would have been just 13 if the previous Congress Government would not have classified socially and economically backward Muslims under Backward Classes category (BC-E). He said a total of 30 Muslims got elected from the seats reserved for Backward Classes.
