Set up study group for Muslim socio-economic survey, name it after late Ajit Pawar: Samajwadi Party MLA Rais Shaikh

Samajwadi Party MLA Rais Shaikh has urged Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar to establish a study group for a long-stalled socio-economic and educational survey of the Muslim community. Shaikh highlighted the survey's importance for policy formulation, noting the lack of comprehensive data since the 2006 Sachar Committee Report. He proposed naming the group after the late Ajit Pawar, acknowledging his past contributions to the community.
