The Congress party will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Muslim reservation in undivided Andhra Pradesh with a series of events, culminating in a grand event on August 25.
The first Government Order (GO Ms No 30) for Muslim reservation was issued on August 25, 1994, by Chief Minister Kotla Vijaya Bhaskar Reddy. This move provided reservations for Muslims and 14 other backward classes.
Hyderabad DCC President Mohammed Waliullah Sameer and senior leader Mateen Shareef highlighted the policy’s impact, stating that it has benefited nearly 20 lakh poor Muslims with a 4 percent quota in jobs and education since 2004-05, despite legal challenges.
