Hyderabad, Nov 7 (Reporter) Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Spokesperson Syed Nizamuddin on Thursday warned against misinformation being spread about the caste census, specifically addressing attempts to create fear within the Muslim community by linking the census to the National Register of Citizens (NRC). Addressing a press conference along with TPCC General Secretary Zaheer Lalani here, Nizamuddin emphasised that the caste census is unrelated to citizenship documentation, directly countering claims purportedly circulated by some BJP and RSS members. He clarified that the census would include specific columns for minorities, particularly for Muslims in the BC-E category, ensuring communities like Shaik, Qasab, and Turka Kashavlu are represented. "For our Muslim brothers and sisters, especially those in the BC-E category, selecting the right category in the official form is essential for accurate representation," the Congress leader stated, urging citizens not to be swayed by fake survey forms or fear-based propaganda. Nizamuddin commended Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s pledge to conduct a nationwide caste census as part of a larger mission to achieve equality and social justice. "This is not just a survey; it’s a crucial step towards a fairer India," he asserted, recognising the efforts of Telangana Congress leaders, including Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka and TPCC President Mahesh Kumar Goud, for proactively advancing this cause. He praised their commitment, which he said reflects Congress's dedication to equitable governance. The TPCC Spokesperson reiterated Congress’s support for Rahul Gandhi’s vision to lift the 50% cap on reservations, seeking fair representation across all sectors, from boardrooms to judiciary, armed forces, and media. “This bold initiative aims to empower marginalised communities - Dalits, Adivasis, women, OBCs, and minorities - who have historically been disadvantaged by outdated structures,” he said. Nizamuddin assured that the Congress would work collaboratively with civil society, affected communities, and experts, refining the census process through constant dialogue. “Our collaborative approach will ensure that the census not only meets the needs of the communities it represents but also stands as a true record of the discrimination they face,” he affirmed. He appealed to all citizens to actively participate in this historic census, describing it as a vital opportunity to create a more inclusive Telangana...////...
