A day after alleging that Samajwadi Party did not fulfil its promises, Shahi Imam of Delhi's Jama Masjid Maulana Ahmad Bukhari today met Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, who assured him to look into his demands.
"We reminded the CM of the promises like reservation, special arrangement for education in Muslim-dominated areas, employment in security forces etc made in the party's 2012 Assembly poll manifesto and requested him to fulfil them," Bukhari told reporters after the meeting.
"The CM heard our demands and assured to fulfil them within next three months," he said.
Bukhari had yesterday demanded that the Samajwadi Party government fulfil all the promises made to Muslims in the last Assembly elections within three months or they will be forced to review their decision on extending support to it.
