الهند: حزب هندوسي يعارض منح مساعدات مالية للطالبات المسلمات

- خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أعرب حزب "بهراتيه جنتي بارتي" الهندي عن رفضه لمشروع منح الطالبات المسلمات مساعدات مالية، الذي اقترحته حكومة حزب "سمجاواتي بارتي" بولاية "أوتربراديش"؛ حيث قام بالانسحاب من المجلس التشريعي اعتراضًا على المشروع.

وكانت حكومة "أوربراديش" قد حددت 100 كرور روبية لدعم تعليم وتزويج المسلمات، سعيًا وراء الاحتفاظ بالصوت الانتخابي الإسلامي خلال الانتخابات البرلمانية لعام 2014.

وقد زعم أعضاء حزب "بهراتيه جنتي" أن تخصيص فئة دينية معينة بالدعم المالي غير مبرر ومخالف للدستور، إلا أن وزير الصحة أكد أن الدعم مقدم على أساس تردي الحالة الاقتصادية للمسلمين وأنه غير مخالف للدستور. المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

BJP against financial assistance to Muslim girls in UP

The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday opposed the financial assistance proposed by the Samajwadi Party (SP) government in Uttar Pradesh (UP) for girl students of minority community. The party staged a walk out from legislative council in protest. UP government has made an allocation of Rs 100 crore for helping education and marriage of Muslim girls in order to strengthen its minority vote bank for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

The issue was raised by the BJP members through an adjournment notice during Zero Hour demanding a debate on the scheme announced by the state government. The BJP members said that the government has announced a financial assistance of Rs 30,000 to a girl student of the minority community after passing high school examination conducted by the UP Secondary Education Board. They alleged that the government move was against the provisions of the Constitution and against the right of equality.

Raising the issue BJP member Vinod Pandey said that such type of arrangement or announcement for a specific religion was anti-Constitutional.

BJP member Nepal Singh alleged that it was not justified.

Leader of the House and state health minister Ahmad Hasan, however, said that financial assistance was not being given on the basis of religion, but on the basis of financial condition. He said that there was no violation of the provisions of the Constitution.

Dissatisfied with the government's reply the BJP members walked out of the house.

In all 68 muslims won in assembly elections, of which 43 muslims belong to SP, 15 to Bahujan Samaj Party, four to Congress, three to Peace Party, two to Quami Ekta Dal and one to Ittehad-E-Millat Council.

There are around 140 constituencies in UP where Muslims are above 30% of the population. In recent assembly elections, of SP won 72 Muslim dominated seats, BSP 27 seats and Congress 11. BJP also won at 25 Muslim dominated constituencies due to polarisation.

Out of 80 Lok Sabha seats, Muslim are in position to influence 25 constituencies in the state.
