LUCKNOW, February 15, 2026 – Leaders who gained power in India by invoking secularism have appointed Muslims to high positions, yet failed to address the community’s grassroots struggles.

The Sachar Committee Report, formed in 2006 under former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, exposed the dire socio-economic plight of Muslims. It recommended immediate reservations in education, health, and jobs to uplift their status, but the report was shelved in files and remains unimplemented even today.

Today’s Muslim ground reality remains harsh: they are seen driving e-rickshaws, repairing punctures, selling vegetables and fish, working as plumbers, masons, and laborers.

Abbas Mukherjee stated, “Without education and healthcare, our next generation is falling behind. We need parties that implement the Sachar Committee recommendations and meet basic needs.”Kambar Raja added, “Leaders grew strong on our votes, but the community’s condition is still stuck at puncture repairs. Don’t stay in illusions—become aware.”

Dr. Ahsan, a prominent physician in Uttar Pradesh, remarked, “In UP, Muslim literacy is just 20%, with minimal access to health services. Implementing Sachar suggestions could change this. Without reservations and easy job paths, we keep lagging.”

The Muslim community is now questioning fake leaders. On social media, they ask why problems persist despite votes for secular parties. Maulanas and their families have bolstered their finances, but the community remains mired in daily struggles.

It’s time to vote for parties that fulfill promises. Advice to Muslim brothers: Stay vigilant, shun delusions. Choose parties focused on education, health, and jobs—and deliver results.
