THE TELEGRAPH KOLKATA SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
Calcutta. May 2, 2012: Mamata Banerjee today announced a monthly honorarium of Rs 1,000 for muezzins working in mosques across the state.
Announcing the decision after a cabinet meeting, the chief minister said she had received requests to help the muezzins, who give the call to prayers.
“They are very poor. We have decided to provide this assistance as it will help in their socio-economic development. This is aimed at community development. A number of community leaders had requested me to do something for the muezzins,” Mamata said. “The Muslim population in Bengal is around 30 per cent, the highest in India. They have to be given equal opportunities for their socio-economic development.”
Last month, Mamata had announced a similar scheme for imams. Each imam would get Rs 2,500 a month as honorarium through the Wakf board. She had also announced a housing scheme for the imams and formed a task force with clerics as members to consider her proposals for the welfare of the imams.
Mamata said the muezzins too would be given the honorarium through the Wakf board. “The government also utilises the services of the muezzins to raise awareness about schemes such as the pulse polio drive. So the government should also do something for them.”
The chief minister said Bengal was not the only state to have offered welfare schemes to clerics. “We have not done anything new. Karnataka and Tamil Nadu had also offered similar financial assistance.”
Earlier, the government had proposed giving three cottahs to each imam in rural Bengal to build a house with financial assistance from the government. Mamata had also offered scholarships and stipends for the children of imams. Government sources said these schemes could be extended to the muezzins, although no decision had been taken yet.
“If the Ramakrishna Mission or the Bharat Sevashram Sangha place any request before me, I will consider those as well. Our government is also working for the development of shrines in Tarakeswar, Tarapith and Nalhati,” she said.
The cabinet also cleared reservation for Muslims under the other backward classes category. The Mamata government has decided to add 33 Muslim sub-castes to the list of 65 so that they get the benefit of reservation in educational institutes and government jobs.
“The previous government had passed a bill in a hurry and it was not approved by the governor. Court cases were also filed. We have completed a survey. The new bill will be placed in the next session of the Assembly,” Mamata said.

Muezzins to get honorarium
statesman news service
KOLKATA, 2 MAY: With an eye on the panchayat elections, the Trinamul Congress-led government today once again sought to woo the minorities with the state Cabinet approving a decision to pay monthly honorarium to muezzins working in mosques, but not before the chief minister lost her temper when some of her colleagues tried to raise a point against the move.
The Cabinet also extended the existing 17 per cent reservation to more minority groups under Other Backward Classes (OBC) category. Chief minister Mamata Banerjee, announcing this to mediapersons later, said her government would table the relevant Bill afresh since the earlier Left Front government failed to get it enacted before the elections.
The decision to give a monthly honorarium of Rs 1000 to muezzins ~ those who sound the call to prayer ~ came on the heels of Miss Banerjee’s decision to grant imams Rs 2500 every month, though today she was judicious enough to declare that the Wakf Board would be disbursing the amounts, although the state government would provide the funds.
There are around 30,000 muezzins working in mosques across the state and it would cost the state exchequer, roughly, at least Rs 3.6 crore annually.
The Cabinet meeting, which went on for over an hour, saw the the chief minister in a foul mood after senior minister Subrata Mukherjee pointed out that muttewalis may remove imams and muezzins at will, so the move may not benefit the latter. READ DETAILS.

On one hand she gives sop to Mullas on the other she assures that, she is ready to give some money for Bharat Sevashram Sangha or Ram Krishna Mission but in reality her Railway & State Administration in Kharagpur tried to destruct a beautiful BSS Mandir & Ashram recently. Please post the pictures here if possible which I already mailed this blog owner. The temple is functional from 1986 & ironically was permitted on Railway land by then Rail Minister Barkat Ghani Khan Chowdhury, a Muslim but it seems our new CM is much more Islamist! Also I would like to know from Mamata is she really willing to pay all the Monks & Pujaris of all BSS & RKM Temples & Ashrams in West Bengal like Imams & Muazzins?

The perpetrators of Islamic terror and Christianity’s Mission are inflamed with violent and racist doctrines, which are, ‘Fight them until persecution is no more and the Religion of Allah reigns supreme.’ (Koran 8:39) and “But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them bring them here and kill them in front of me.” Bible, Luke, Chapter 19 Verse 27. Both have agenda, and Hindus are ignorant of it. They have been created to reduce human beings into dinosaurs. Why should we allow such Indian Constitution survive, which has provided unfettered fundamental right to Muslims and Christians to slay us as per Article 29(1)?
Rulers, Judges, Governors, Leaders, reformers, saints, Media, Islamic and Missionary politicos and clerics are purposely deceiving humanity. The truth is not hidden, nor is it hard to find. Media is scared, clueless, and willfully ignorant at the cost of human eradication. Good Muslims and Christians would continue to wage Jihad and Mission until we stop them by eliminating their means and motivation. Means is petro dollars and Missionary funds and motivation is Koran and Bible. (Koran 8:39) and (Bible, Luke 19:27). Non-violence is imposed upon Aryans only through [Article 29(1) of the Indian Constitution] and Sections 196 and 197 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
