It urged the ministry of minority affairs to work on matters of fundamental infrastructure, education, employment and security in minority populated areas.
“The Sacchar Committee Report showed that the Muslim population of the country is behind the national average in employment (government, private), education and opportunities. This is due to rampant discrimination; they are being deprived of opportunities. Therefore, to meet the basic sense of the Constitution, "Equal Opportunities to All", and equal opportunities commission should be formed with the constitutional powers so that all the minority communities of the country can get equal opportunities,” it said.
The Minority Coordination Committee was formed on December 18, 2016 in Ahmedabad, Gujarat on International Minority Rights Day.
