Christian priests will also be paid remuneration through the constitution of separate department.
M.P. Prakash, president of JD(S) State unit, said BJP-JD (S) coalition government in State was following the footsteps of Sufi saints.
Muslim community of India had largely been influenced by Sufism. Muslims impressed by Sufism had developed Urdu language. Urdu language had been patronised by kings irrespective of religion in the past.
The State government is taking such kings as models to run the government while safeguarding the interests of minorities, he added.
