India should have PM from minority community: Samajwadi Party MP
Sambhal (UP) (PTI): Samajwadi Party MP Shafiqur Rehman Barq here said India should have a prime minister from the minority community.
"There is no harm in it. I want that the country should have a prime minister from the minority community," he told reporters when asked about Indian-origin Rishi Sunak becoming the prime minister of the UK.
On the Darul Uloom Deoband, Saharanpur, Barq said it did not need any recognition as many madrasas are associated with it. "If there is any shortcoming in it, the government should fulfil it," he said.
According to a government survey, prominent Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband and other 305 madrasas in Saharanpur district are not recognised by the Uttar Pradesh Madarsa Education Board.
Madrasas which are not recognised by the Board do not get benefit of government schemes like scholarship and salary for teachers.

Inspired by film, 13-year-old Palghar boy kills child he was jealous of
Palghar, Mar 2 (PTI): A teen boy was detained on Sunday for allegedly murdering a 6-year-old girl in Maharashtra's Palghar district out of jealousy, with a senior police official claiming he took inspiration for the act from a Hindi film about a serial killer, a police official said.
The girl's body was found on Sriram Nagar hillock at around 4.30 am, the Pelhar police station official said.
"We have detained a 13-year-old boy from Nalasopara. The deceased is his cousin. He allegedly killed her out of jealousy since he thought everyone pampered her," senior inspector Jitendra Vankute of Pelhar police station told PTI.
"The girl had gone missing on Saturday evening after which her kin approached police. CCTV footage from the vicinity of a nearby company showed the boy taking the girl somewhere. The boy first tried to mislead police but later confessed," he said.
The official said the juvenile strangled the girl and then smashed her face with a stone after being inspired by Hindi film 'Raman Raghav', which is about a serial killer.
A murder case under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita has been registered and further probe is underway, Vankute said.
