During a meeting today RSS leader Indresh Kumar has released a 'letter of an appeal' listing various schemes implemented by the BJP governments and states for the welfare of the Muslim community. The saffron party is the biggest well-wishers of Muslim community," said Sayeed.

This "letter of appeal" will be distributed in all poll-bound states.
