State education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma rushed to Sarfaraz's school soon after declaration of the results. Sarma said the state government will waive off all fees for Sarfaraz at the prestigious Cotton College in Guwahati, where he is heading next. The minister also pledged a fund of of Rs 5 lakh for Sarfaraz's further studies and a grant of Rs 10 lakh for infrastructure development of Sankardev Sishu Niketan, Betkuchi, as a reward for the good result.

Describing the success of Sarfaraz as an achievement of Vidya Bharati, Sarma said, "It is a matter of pride for our ideological family." He expressed hope that one Vidya Bharati-run school would be set up in every gram panchayat area of the state.

Sarfaraz enjoys his leisure time by playing cricket and watching edutainment channels. Inspired by former President A P J Abdul Kalam, Sarfaraz wants to become an engineer but is also interested in politics, which he feels is a medium to transform society.

Mangaluru: Attempting to take political advantage of lack of space in a Masjid, wherein a few people had to offer last Friday prayers on a narrow stretch of an interior road for a few minutes in Mangaluru, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad has warned of holding mass recitation of Hanuman Chalisa, if instances of offering namaz on the road is reported from anywhere in Dakshina Kannada.

VHP leader Sharan Pumpwell said “instances of offering namaz on roads and public places have come to light in the district. It is a conspiracy to create unrest in the district.”

“The district administration should take action against those who offered namaz on the road. If such incidents recur, the VHP will hold recitation of Hanuman chalisa on the same spot,” he warned. 

In fact, the VHP members submitted a memorandum to Kadri police to take action against those who offered namaz on the road. The police should consider the incident seriously.

In a memorandum, they claimed in spite of having enough space at the masjid, by offering namaz on the road has caused inconvenience to the public.

It may be recalled that the video of a few offering namaz on the street in Kankanady had gone viral on social media, drawing criticism from various quarters.

Commissioner of Police Anupam Agrawal said that a case has been registered against unknown persons for offering prayers on the road at Mangaluru East Police station limits.

FIR has been registered under IPC Sections 341, 283, 143 and 149 and investigation is in progress.
