A Dalit-Muslim campaign

Nizam Osman Ali Khan With dropping a brick of political reservation in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha and state Assemblies for Dalits and Muslims, the Akhil Bharatiya Dalit and Muslim Mahasangh (ABDMM) will be starting a nationwide awaking campaign in 2017.
In an exclusive interview Suresh Kanojia National President ABDMM told Power Politics that he has taken up a new agenda of pre-requisite qualifications for the Lok Sabha and state Assembly candidates. He said two terms should be fixed for the members in Lok Sabha and in Legislative Assembly. MP and MLA should be entitled to get pension after attaining the age of 60 years. Candidates participating in elections should deposit money with the Election Commission of India for monitoring their expenditure in elections.
He has raised the demand of 10 per cent from Member of Parliament Local Area Development (MPLAD) fund to be kept reserved at least for 200 students annually for meritorious students belonging to weaker and unprivileged of the society.

Suresh Kanojia According to him, "the number of beneficiaries yearly from MPLAD comes to nearly 1, 60,000 (200 children x 795 MPs (Lok Sabha 545 and Rajya Sabha 250). In 5 years, the number of beneficiaries will go up to 8, 00,000. An estimated Rs. 25,000 is required to be spent yearly for one student". He excessed shock over the performance of MPs of SC/ST category, representing in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha as they have turned as "middle men" between the government and private partners for their own benefits

"In Muslim communities, most of the underprivileged have no bank accounts. In small scale industries, like bidi manufacturing, weaving and handloom industries, one will find that it is dominated by Muslim communities and most of the transactions take place by cash only. They have been most affected people because of new RBI rules."

Kanojia, in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has requested to revise MPLAD scheme through Gazette notification at an early date so as to enable the millions of meritorious students get benefited through MPLAD.
Minister of State for Human Resource Development Upendra Kushwaha has appreciated his welfare schemes for the downtrodden and weaker sections of the society. He said "there is no dearth of meritorious students in the Indian society. It is deplorable that because of financial crunch facing their parents, they fail to go in for further education. As a result, parents have no choice but to allow their children to opt for 'unskilled jobs' at a tender age".
ABDMM has extended its membership to 10000 in 12 states. It is having a visible presence in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh and Telengana.

According to Kanojia , the motive of launching this social organisation is to give justice to Dalits and downtrodden people who have been victimised in the society. Kanojia had also taken up the matter of establishment of High Courts in capital of the states in Goa, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh. He demanded more high court benches in larger states like Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal. Bihar and Tamil Nadu.
While giving credit to the demonization step to ban 500 and 1000 rupees currency notes to eliminate black money from circulation, he said, " it is a matter of regret that alternative measures from the government is worse."
He said "The government has allowed customers 2,50,000/- for marriage purposes. But what happened to these under privileged classes who have no account ? Where they will go for wedding their children? Most of the ladies earn their livelihood from committees paying monthly subscription. Most of them have no bank account.
Ladies in town do kitty parties with monthly subscription. They are not losers with the government's demonetisation. Because all of them have bank accounts and they get new notes in exchange of old currencies."
He rued "In Muslim communities, most of the under privileged have no bank accounts. In small scale industries, like bidi manufacturing, weaving and handloom industries, one will find that it is dominated by Muslim communities and most of the transactions take place by cash only. Now they have been most affected people."
Will ABDMM participate in direct election? Kanojia said, "Due to financial scarcity, it will not be possible." In Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh national and regional political parties have approached ABDMM for their support. So far, ABDMM has not made any commitment to any political party.
