Hyderabad, June 12 (UNI) Senior Muslim leaders of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) on Thursday asserted that only their party had the vision, commitment, and track record to ensure justice, protection, and genuine empowerment of minorities in the state.
Addressing a media interaction at Gandhi Bhavan here, the newly appointed TPCC Vice Presidents and General Secretaries praised the Congress government for its inclusive governance and historic welfare initiatives aimed at the socio-economic upliftment of minorities.

Speaking on the occasion, Syed Nizamuddin said that the Congress party has a legacy of safeguarding minority rights and promoting inclusive development.
He said the newly appointed Muslim leaders in the TPCC bring with them years of grassroots experience and social commitment, and their elevation reflects the Congress party's dedication to ensuring political representation for every section of society.
'Congress is the only party that not only talks about minority welfare but actually delivers it through policy, budget, and political empowerment,' he stated.
Nizamuddin also said that the Congress government, under the leadership of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, has been proactive in reviving public confidence among minorities, especially the youth, who had lost faith during the previous regime.
He emphasised that the allocation of Rs 840 crore for minority self-employment schemes was a transformative step that could redefine the economic future of thousands of underprivileged families.
He strongly condemned the propaganda being spread by opposition parties and said such efforts were aimed at creating confusion among minorities. 'No amount of misinformation can hide the fact that Telangana is witnessing a renewed focus on secular, inclusive governance. The Congress government is committed to maintaining communal harmony and will not tolerate any attempt to polarise society,' he added.
The Chief Minister has shown a genuine commitment to the welfare of minorities, translating promises into concrete actions, they pointed out that the Congress government had increased the budget for Minority Welfare to a record Rs 3,591 crore for the financial year 2025-26 - a significant leap from previous allocations.
'This is not just a symbolic gesture but a clear sign of political will to address the long-standing neglect of the Muslim community,' said Mujahed Alam Khan.
The leaders further elaborated on the series of welfare measures that have directly benefited the minority communities.
Responding to criticisms by opposition parties, the newly appointed office bearers condemned what they described as a malicious campaign to defame the Congress government.
'The opposition is rattled by the popularity of Congress-led welfare initiatives and is resorting to baseless allegations. The truth is, Congress is delivering on its promises with honesty and transparency,' said Mohammed Asaduddin.
In conclusion, the TPCC Muslim leaders reaffirmed their faith in the Congress party's leadership and its ability to bring lasting change to Telangana's minority communities. They called upon the community to remain united and support the government's initiatives aimed at justice, empowerment, and equal opportunity.
'The time for tokenism is over. Under Congress rule, minorities are not just being heard - they are being empowered,' said Mohammed Sabir Ali. UNI KNR SSP
