Hyderabad, April 24, 2025 — In a significant political development, Telangana MLC and influential minority leader Amer Ali Khan has called for greater representation of minorities in the Congress party’s proposed organizational restructuring plan. His statement comes amid growing internal discussions within the party about revamping its leadership and grassroots presence following recent electoral setbacks. Speaking at a press meet in Hyderabad, Amer Ali Khan emphasized that any meaningful restructuring of the Congress party must include strong, proportional representation for India's marginalized communities — especially Muslims, Dalits, and other backward classes — who have traditionally been the party’s core supporters. "Congress must not repeat the mistakes of the past. Real empowerment of minorities isn't symbolic — it must reflect in leadership roles, ticket distribution, and decision-making positions within the party structure," said Khan. He urged the Congress high command to set a precedent by reserving key posts at the district, state, and national levels for leaders from minority backgrounds. Khan also highlighted the need to include educated and dynamic youth from minority communities, noting that fresh faces with grassroots connections can re-energize the party's support base. Amer Ali Khan has been at the forefront of community empowerment through his work with The Siasat Daily and initiatives like S-Hub, a platform aimed at fostering entrepreneurship and innovation among Muslim youth. His advocacy for inclusive politics aligns with his broader vision of socio-economic upliftment for underrepresented communities. Khan’s push is being seen as a strategic move not just for representation, but for rebuilding trust among minorities, many of whom have drifted away from the Congress over the years due to perceived neglect.
