Hyderabad, March 16: Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy stated on Sunday that his government is prioritizing the welfare and development of the Muslim community.
During a speech at an iftar gathering organized by the state government at LB Stadium, he warned the public about attempts by certain political forces to create communal tensions by dividing society along religious lines.
He emphasized that Ramadan is a month of spiritual purification and expressed joy in organizing iftar for Muslim brothers and sisters observing the fast.
