The congress party is organising a series of activities to commemorate the 30 years of Muslim reservation in undivided Andhra Pradesh, which will culminate in a major event on august 25. chief minister Kotla Vijaya bhaskar reddy gave the first government Order (GO Ms No 30) for Muslim reservation on august 25, 1994. This action granted reservations to Muslims as well as fourteen other marginalised groups.
 
Despite legal challenges, hyderabad DCC President Mohammed Waliullah sameer and senior leader Mateen Shareef emphasised the policy's benefits, claiming that it has helped almost 20 lakh impoverished Muslims by providing a 4% quota in jobs and education during 2004–05.

Mohammed ali Shabbir, who started the push for Muslim reservation by creating the Minorities Welfare Department and presenting a Minority Welfare Budget, was commended by Sameer. Shabbir's accomplishments will be honoured at the ceremony.
 
A five percent Muslim reservation was promised by congress President sonia gandhi in the party's 2004 platform. chief minister Dr. YS Rajasekhara reddy and shabbir ali instituted a 5 percent reservation under GO Ms. No 33 after regaining office; however, following legal disputes, the percentage was subsequently lowered to 4 percent.
 
The Muslim minority has made great strides since the reservation, creating hundreds of professionals and enabling political participation in local authorities.
 
In addition to media outreach and grassroots initiatives, the next festivities will include a big event on august 25 that will involve participation from Muslim representatives and senior congress officials, as well as a documentary and picture exhibition. We'll shortly make more announcements.
