Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi to roll out govt’s Muslim outreach plan from Mewat

“The first meeting is in Mewat, the second in Alwar on October 6. I plan to hold about 100 such panchayats — an initiative of the Ministry of Minority Affairs and respective state governments — in the coming days. I will initially go to Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Assam and West Bengal, states that are not poll-bound. This is similar to Mission Empowerment initiative that we had undertaken in 2015, when I had toured 22-23 states, but here there will be interaction with the masses and not just prominent people,” Naqvi told The Indian Express.
