Representatives of the Sunnath Jamath Federation from Coimbatore met Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK President M.K. Stalin in Tiruppur on Saturday and submitted their demands, besides extending support to the INDIA bloc in the Lok Sabha election.
The federation comprised of organisations like the Sunnath Jamaath Kolgai Kootamaippu, Jamaat-e-Islami, political parties such as Indian Union Muslim League, Manithaneya Jananayaga Katchi and Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam met Mr. Stalin when he arrived in Tiruppur for an election rally.
The federation demanded the release of Muslim prisoners who have been behind bars for over 20 years and stated that permission for the construction of mosques and madrasas are often denied or delayed by authorities, citing various reasons. It wanted the government to ease the process of approval.
According to the federation, Muslim-populated areas like Karumbukadai and Ukkadam in Coimbatore are deprived of banks, schools above sixth grade and other facilities, including a playground. It said that adequate government land is available at Pullukkadu near Ukkadam where a high school and playground can be set up.
