Cong. worker from Hassan raises objections to latest nominations to corporations

The latest round of nominations to various boards and corporations by the State government has upset a section of Congress workers, particularly those from the Muslim community.

Mujahid Pasha, a resident of Holenarasipur in Hassan district and a former vice-president of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee’s social media wing, told The Hindu that he was disappointed with the poor representation given to Muslim party workers in the list.

“Out of nearly 430 nominations, there are only 37 party workers from the Muslim community. Nominations have been made to 111 corporations and boards. Ideally, a Muslim should be given a chance in each corporation. However, what has been given is negligible,” he said.

He also objected to the nomination of people not identified with the party. “We have learnt that a few who have been identified with the BJP or the RSS have been nominated. As a committed and honest worker of the party, I am objecting to the poor representation of the Muslim community, which has stood with the party in all the elections,” he said.
