Press Statement
Appeal to Muslims and other Deprived Groups to form Local Census Committees in All Villages & Mohallas
To Assist Fully in Census Phase II on Population Enumeration between February 9 & 28, 2011
New Delhi: 25 January 2011, Mr Syed Shahabuddin, President All India Muslim Majlis-e- Mushawarat, has issued the following statement.
Phase II of the Census shall enumerate Population to produce the socio-economic demographic profile of the country. For this enumeration the Census Commissioner has framed a Schedule of Questions to be asked of all households. The results of this enumeration will have a direct bearing on the policies, development programs & financial allocations at every level for the next decade.
The enumerator will visit every household between 9 & 28 February, 2011 and speak to the heads of the households, and some other members, if necessary and record replies separately, for each household.
The Schedule has many questions including a question on Religion and another on Language and also on Age, Education, Marital Status and Physical Disability etc.
The AIMMM considers it imperative that all households participate fully in the Enumeration. All Muslims should indicate Islam as their religion and their mother tongue as their Language. Those, whose mother tongue is Urdu, specially in northern states should indicate Urdu, not any local dialect they may speak at home.
The AIMMM appeals to the educated youth among Muslims and all other deprived groups to form small Census committees in every mohalla and village which should accompany the enumerators from household to household & from family to family, to ensure that enumeration is universal and nobody is left out and that the replies by the households are recorded correctly.
