Rahul Gandhi seeks PM's nod for granting of minority status to Jain
New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi on Sunday spoke to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and requested him to grant minority status to the Jain community, Congress sources said here.
They said that the Congress Vice President spoke to Singh soon after a delegation of Jain leaders led by Union Minister Pradeep Jain had met him today to seek his support for the notification of Jains as a minority community at the national level.
Earlier, AICC had said in a release that Jain Samaj leaders had spoken to Rahul about their long-pending demand for minority status for the community and urged him to support their cause.
"Rahul recognised the role played by the Jain community in the social, cultural and economic development of the country. He assured the delegation that he would do his utmost to ensure fair and equitable recognition and representation for the Jain community," the release said.
The delegation told Rahul that awarding of national minority status would help the community access central funds meant for welfare programmes and scholarships for minorities.

Not sure how Jain brothers and sisters look at this news?
ReplyDeleteI know one thing, if you do something for the country then everyone living in the country will get benefits.
I am sure people of India know why they don't do that.
Political parties spend their energy to divide us rather to unite us.
This time one more division to keep Jain away from India. Now they will start feeling as they are in minority which they
never felt so far.
