I was surprised to read in the recent news that Sonia Gandhi has announced a special package for minorities and this package is especially for Muslims. I have no problem in Muslims getting a special package but what about the other minorities especially Christians. Are they not minorities? Why are Christians always being sidelined every time?

Every time these politicians will try to appease the Minorities to get votes and thereby sometimes creating partiality with the other people, be it illegal slums or for any special permissions to be granted, it is granted instantly for CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THE MINORITIES. More over if any action is taken against they, some MLA or a politician will intervene to get them off.

I think this whole attitude of politicians should change; the law should be applied for every community equally. Moreover these politicians fill their OWN POCKETS AND DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO UPLIFT THE POOR PEOPLE, they only give assurances.

Also its high time Christian Organizations like Bombay Catholic Sabha, etc take a stand on this and demand for a share of developments for Christians also in the form of reservations in Government Jobs, etc. It was after a long wait that Christians got the permission for a cemetery in Mulund, but the same is still pending in Dombivli where a sizable number of Christians reside and they have to go all the way to Vithalwadi Cemetery for the burial of their loved ones.
