In a letter addressed to Kharge, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, the MBT spokesperson said that since 1956, there has been no Muslim representative in the legal system during erstwhile Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

He hoped with the new government, the Muslim advocates would be recognised for important legal posts. “It is a fact that due to the support of Muslims, the Congress was able to form the government in Telangana. We hope that Muslims get a better share in all departments,” read the letter.
