Mohammad Afzal has the responsibility for Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal; Girish Juyal and Shahid Akhtar have the responsibility for the North East, West Bengal, Kerala, Bihar, and Jharkhand.

As a result, Muslim society has now joined the mainstream of the country; they have lost their fear of the so-called secular parties and the so-called Muslim leaders, like self-proclaimed commanders. Muslim society has gotten freedom from the mafia and goondas like the Ansari brothers of UP.
