00:00In Delhi, for the past 18 months, the Imam and the Mu'ajjim have not received their salaries.
00:04This is causing them financial problems.
00:06On one hand, the Delhi government is talking about giving Rs. 18,000 to the priests and gurudwaras in the temples as a symbol of respect.
00:15On the other hand, the Mu'ajjim and the Imam are not getting their salaries.
00:20This is the topic of discussion before the Delhi Parliamentary Elections.
00:23To talk about this, we have with us the President of All India Imam Association.
00:28Let's talk to him about the struggle and the extent to which this issue has reached.
00:34It has been stopped for 18 months.
00:36We have applied to the CM, Governor, Administrator and Kejriwal of Delhi.
00:44There has been no solution yet.
00:47Sir, how do you get this salary?
00:50Is it from the work board or from the government?
00:53It is from the Delhi work board.
00:55The Delhi work board is run by the government.
00:58The government takes 30% of the revenue from the Delhi work board.
01:03The government employees, officers and COs are all from the government.
01:10That is why the government is responsible for our salaries.
01:14The Delhi Parliamentary Elections are just around the corner.
01:18This is a hot topic in politics.
01:21Have you taken any other step to get your salaries?
01:30No, we have gone to Mr. Kejriwal a couple of times.
01:33We hope to find a solution soon.
01:37Sir, how many people have lost their salaries?
01:43What financial problems are they facing?
01:46There are 240 people who are permanent imams of the Delhi work board.
01:51You can imagine, if someone's salary is only Rs.18,000 and he does not get it for 18 months,
01:58you can imagine what his financial situation would be.
02:02This is not something to be said.
02:05Everyone is worried.
02:07Because imams do not have any source of income,
02:11apart from mosques and imamate.
02:14That is why the government should think about their financial situation.
02:22Sir, if you do not get your salary before the Delhi Parliamentary Elections,
02:29will this affect the Delhi Parliamentary Elections?
02:33We hope to get it.
02:35If we do not get it, we will see what the situation will be.
02:39What will be the strategy?
02:41We will see.
02:42It is too early to say.
02:44The elections have not been announced yet.
02:47If we do not get our salary before the elections,
02:51we will see what the strategy will be.
02:53Sir, you are also an imam.
02:55What problems are you facing?
02:57What is your experience of not getting your salary?
03:00There are some imams whose other side also has work.
03:04Like me.
03:05We do not have much of a problem.
03:08But the people who are dependent on this salary,
03:11it is very painful for them.
03:14It is a problem of children's fees.
03:17It is a problem of household expenses.
03:19There are a lot of other people's needs.
03:22It is very difficult to fulfill them.
03:24They have to borrow money from people.
03:26They have to survive somehow.
03:29Thank you very much.
03:31As he said, before the Delhi Parliamentary Elections,
03:35the government is also trying to get the salary of the imams.
03:40So that before the Delhi Parliamentary Elections,
03:43the Muslim voters do not get cut.
03:46It is hoped that they will get their salary soon.
03:50For ETV Bharat, I am Dhananjay Verma from Delhi.
