'One Million Yes for 12% Muslim Reservation in Telangana' campaign drive a huge hit

‘One Million Yes for 12% Muslim Reservation in Telangana’ campaign, launched by Greater Hyderabad Congress Committee (GHCC) minorities department, has received a major boost with hundreds of students joining the campaign.

According to the GHCC minorities department chairman Shaik Abdullah Sohail, thousands of students had signed the ‘Yes for 12% Muslim Reservation’ forms in their colleges since the campaign was launched on April 4.

While many preferred to express their support through online or mobile mode by sending messages through SMS or WhatsApp, hundreds of students had signed the physical forms collectively in their



respective colleges. “This campaign is proving to be a mass movement.

We are overwhelmed with the response which we got from the students’ community. Young students, who are not even members of the Congress, are willingly working as volunteers to get signatures in favour of 12% Muslim quota,” he informed.

Abdullah Sohail said that going by the response so far, the target of collecting 10 lakh signatures appeared to be too small. “Students, housewives, professionals, vendors, businessmen and even auto-rickshaw and cab drivers have not only signed the forms, but also volunteered to get signatures from their families and friends.
