Rahul Gandhi: Congress is committed to solve the issues of minority community

While campaigning for upcoming Assembly election in UP in February 2012, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said that Congress (I) is aware of the issues of the Muslim community.  There are socio-economic issues.  Education is another important issue. When Congress (I)-led UPA government came to power at Centre it appointed Sachhar Committee to recommend measures for socio-economic improvement of Muslim community

The recommendations given by Sachhar Committee have been implemented in Congress (I) ruled states. But Mayawati has not done so in UP.  Congress (I)-led government has recently announced reservations for them in government and educational institutions, said Rahul Gandhi.  Congress (I) has also recently announced waiver of Rs 50,000 loans taken by the weavers who mostly belongs to the minority community. It was Congress (I) initiative that last year a special package was announced by Central government for helping silk weavers who mostly belonged to minority community, said Rahul Gandhi.
