HYDERABAD: Promising the MLC seat, that will be vacated in March 2015, to Christians, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said his government was sincere in its promise to provide proper representation for the community in law making bodies. Christian leaders representing various organisations led my MLC from Nizamabad Rajeshwar Rao met the chief minister at the secretariat here on Monday. The chief minister said the post will serve as an opportunity for Christians to put forward their views and problems in law making bodies. “The move is purely to ensure Christian representation in law making bodies and has no political motive attached to it,” KCR said and added that the person suggested by the leaders of the community will be elected to the post. The chief minister said his government was positively inclined to provide three per cent reservation to Christians like it had promised 12 per cent for Muslims. A committee, headed by a High Court judge, will look into various aspects of both the issues. “Based on the report, we will take a decision. If necessary, we will increase various reservations in the state seeking special exemptions as has been done in Tamil Nadu. All we want to see is that opportunities are provided to everyone based on population ratio,” he said. The chief minister said that Telangana will emerge as a sterling example for Secular State. “We will set an example for other states with regard to functioning in secular spirit,” KCR said and recalled how even Mahatma Gandhi had commended the secular spirit of the state during the Nizam rule. KCR held Seemandhra parties, leaders and their caste equations responsible for communal disturbances that taken place in united Andhra Pradesh. “Telangana had always been and always will be a secular state where communal harmony will prevail,” he remarked. Stating that the same rules will apply for construction of mosques and temples and churches, KCR said he would assure that the collector’s permission will not be needed before construction of a church and also promised that his government would look into possibilities for funding the construction.
