Say the Quran commentators
Surely, the original Darul Hijrat was Madinah,
But since then Wherever uprooted Muslims get space
to peacefully practice the Divine Unity (Tawheed)
becomes Darul Hijrat.

Muslim charities need to have a regular head of
expenditure for construction of
Refugee Homes (Darul Hijrat)
in different parts of the world.
Particularly support the projects where land is available for this
purpose.

Ensure that the young, and the girl child in particular get education and jobs without discrimination. Strengthen and modernize minority educational systems and institutions; dovetailing them with modern requirements. National Madrasa modernization programme would be initiated. Empower with vibrancy in Livelihood and Entrepreneurial opportunities.

Congress releases sub-manifesto related to minorities. The sub-manifesto has accepted almost all the major demands of Muslims. These include: 1. Extension of Scheduled Caste status to all Dalit Minorities. 2. Examine feasibility of mandating the next Delimitation Commission to ensure that Minorities aren’t disenfranchised through reservation of constituencies where minority population equals or exceeds SC/ST population. 3. Ensure adequate representation of Minorities in all public positions. 4. Ensure that funds earmarked for Minorities are allocated to various minority groups in a population-proportionate manner. 5. Earmark reservation of 4.5 percent for backward Muslims in the existing OBC reservations. 6. Ensure adequate representation of minorities in student and faculty in educational institutions. 7. Establish a Minority Commission in every state to safeguard the interests of minorities. 8. Undertake special awareness drives to educate Minorities about government schemes for their benefit. 9. Ensure improved accountability mechanisms for proper implementation of government schemes for the welfare of minorities. 10. Press for implementation of former Prime Minister, Mrs Indira Gandhi’s letter to state chief ministers to ensure that Waqf properties illegally occupied by state and Central governments are vacated and restored to the State Waqf Boards. 11. Ensure utilization of funds allocated for the publicity of Madrasa Scheme (SPQEM) in Urdu and other languages. 12. Ensure implementation of Central Urdu Teachers Scheme across states. 13. Empower Equal Opportunity Commission to check discrimination against Minorities in employment and education opportunities. 14. Institute a Committee to enquire into the socio-economic status of all Minority groups, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Muslims to ensure equitable access to government benefits for the welfare of Minorities.

Immediately appoint the next Delimitation Commission with clear time-bound mandate

Sachar Committee strongly recommended that the Delimitation Commission should be asked to remove
