MUMBAI: In view of the forthcoming municipal elections in Maharashtra, the Muslim Welfare Association has said its policy and priorities are clear.The organisation’s national Saleem Sarang, in a statement, stated that the Association will extend full support to those candidates who place fundamental issues such as education, reservation and protection and upliftment of Muslim, Bahujan and marginalised communities at the centre of their electoral agenda.He said: “Education is the most powerful and effective means to bring society into the mainstream. Candidates who present concrete and result-oriented plans for quality education, youth’s skill development and social empowerment will receive the active support of the Muslim Welfare Association.”
Sarang further stated that the growing menace of substance abuse has emerged as a serious social challenge. Candidates who are committed to strengthening society through de-addiction initiatives, guiding youth towards the right path, rehabilitation programmes and public awareness efforts will be fully supported by the organisation.Across all regions of Maharashtra, candidates who work in the interest of society—especially for the rights, safety and equal opportunities of Muslim, Bahujan and marginalised sections—will receive the support of the Association, he emphasized. Sarang also informed that a list of such socially committed candidates to be supported by the organisation will be announced shortly.
