Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said the Telangana government would introduce a law to curb hate speech and table it in the upcoming Assembly session. He said the move was aimed at protecting peace and communal harmony.
Addressing a programme organised by Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind on Thursday at Metro Classic Gardens in Shamshabad, Revanth Reddy spoke about communal harmony. He said strict action was needed to safeguard public order.
He praised Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind for its role in the freedom movement. Moreover, he said the organisation worked to unite people without majority-minority divisions.
The Chief Minister said minorities must focus on education. At the same time, he assured equal respect for all religions in public administration. Therefore, he urged people from every section to support the people’s government.
Telangana to introduce law against hate speech: Revanth Reddy
Revanth Reddy said strong laws were essential to stop hate speech. He added that such measures would help maintain tranquillity across the state.
He said the Congress party fought for India’s independence. In addition, he praised Jamiat for contributing to national development with support from all communities.
Thanking the organisation for its support in elections, he said minorities played a key role in forming the Congress government. Consequently, he said the state was ready to submit Muslim population data to the Supreme Court of India, if required.
He said officials collected the data during last year’s caste census. Meanwhile, he challenged Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the four per cent reservation issue. He said no one could cancel the quota.
Revanth Reddy recalled that Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy introduced the reservation. He said the present government would enforce it strictly.
Additionally, he said reservations helped many people secure jobs. He added that Congress created political opportunities for minority leaders such as Salman Khurshid, Ahmed Patel, Mohammad Azharuddin, and Shabbir Ali.
Finally, he appealed to minorities to support Muslim candidates in municipal elections. He said peace, law and order were vital for investments. He added that no one could stay in power forever.
