He said even after 65 years of Independence, the ruling parties in India have utilised minorities as their vote bank and done nothing for the uplift of the community. Many a times the government has appointed different commissions to look after the situations of minorities community such as Sachar Commission, Ranganath Mishra commission etc, But till date they have not yet implemented any of the suggestions of these commissions.

May all the people understand the ground reality that is enough for social change with explanation,” he said.
