E. Ahamed, National President, gave the presidential address. He Stated that;

“In the history of Indian Union Muslim League, we have been facing challenges and opposition at various stages from different quarters and many people have tried to destabilise the party. Even after the party has been working to rejuvenate, some people want to weaken the party. This will not work. We are one, we are united and we will march forward to achieve our goal. Muslim League is not the old Muslim League, it is now a partner in the coalition government at the Centre. We have been trying to get as much development for the community as possible.

Sachar Committee report is, though, not fully implemented, but whatever is in place is because of the vigorous follow-up and pressure of the Muslim League and we will continue to pressurise in democratic way for the implementation of other recommendations also. We have been advocating for reservation for the Muslims in the service. As a Member of Parliament for the last 20 years, even before in Kerala, our whole focus was for achieving reservation for the Muslims in services. We have time and again represented before the Government of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh and Smt. Sonia Gandhi to make reservation for Muslim community. I hope Dr. Manmohan Singh Government will have to concede this just demand of our party to provide reservation for the Muslims in employment.
After assuming the additional charge in the Ministry of Human Resource Development, I have initiated a number of steps to improve minority education and to propagate Urdu in a big way. It was only 100 crores rupees allocated for Urdu in the 11th Five Year Plan. But, now we are pressing hard to increase it in the 12th Five Year Plan by five times i.e. 500 crores. Likewise, many areas are being scrutinised for further improving minority education.”

2.Political Resolutions:
1.The National Executive Meeting of IUML, while welcoming the steps taken by Dr. Manmohan Singh Government for part implementation of the recommendations of Sachar Committee Reports, urges the Hon’ble Prime Minister for early implementation of all the recommendations of the Sachar Committee, which are yet to be implemented despite assurances given to the minority community from time to time. Important decisions such as formation of Equal Opportunity Commission, installation of a database on Muslims Educational Social and such other data are still to be implemented.

Therefore, the National Executive Meeting of IUML resolves to request the Hon’ble PM Dr. Manmohan Singh to issue necessary instructions for earliest implementation of the recommendations.

2.There have been consistent and continuing demands by IUML and all sections of the Muslim Community urging the Government to lay the Ranganath Mishra Commission report on the table of the Parliament for a full fledged discussion and implementation of its recommendations.

The meeting places on record the deep sense of resentment of the lukewarm attitude on the part of the Government of India keeping the report in abeyance without taking any action on it. Various sections of backward classes and all supporters for the cause of social justice are one in demanding the Government of India for the implementation of Ranganath Mishra Commission Recommendations.

The National Executive of IUML urges the Government of India to take an early decision for the implementation of the recommendations of the Report ensuring assured reservation to the Muslims in the Central and State Services.
