Kolkata: Filmmaker
Mahesh Bhatt has hailed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee
for activating government programmes for the minorities in the
state as per the suggestions given by Justice Rajinder Sachar, who
has submitted a report on the socio-economic status of the
Muslims.
"I learnt that Sachar saheb (Justice Rajinder Singh Sachar) came
here and presented a document on the conditions of Muslims in the
state," Bhatt said at an event organised by an Urdu newspaper 'Sarparast'
here Saturday evening.
"I congratulate Mamataji for urging Sachar sahab to come to the
state and for listening to him," he said.
The ace filmmaker lauded Banerjee, also the Trinamool Congress
supremo, for taking measures according to the suggestions given by
Sachar.
"Today I came to know that all the programmes were activated in
the state according to the suggestions of (Sachar) for the welfare
of Muslims," he said.
Just after taking charge as the chief minister, May last year,
Banerjee had announced that she would meet Sachar, the author of
the Sachar Committee report, to discuss ways to uplift the status
of Muslim population in Bengal.
Sachar had also met Banerjee in Kolkata July last year.
