BJP MP Proposes Redefining Minority Criteria in India

A BJP MP named Bhim Singh has suggested that the way India decides which communities are minorities should be changed.

Right now, some communities like Muslims and Christians are considered minorities all over India, even though they might be the majority in certain states.

For example, Muslims make up 96% of the population in Lakshadweep and 69% in Jammu & Kashmir, but they still get minority benefits.

The MP thinks this isn't fair and wants the government to look at the population in each state or district to decide who should get minority benefits.

He also suggested that only communities with less than 2% of the national population should be considered minorities.

He plans to write to the Ministry of Minority Affairs to push for this change.
