The way I see it: a politician was intimating to a community, known for its conservative religious practices, that they can one day enforce their ideal in their children's education. If the dogwhistle is too quiet, consider how Muslims, Christians and other non-racial communities drove the US Supreme Court ruling to allow opt-out of LGBTQ education.
IMHO, the insane idea is "a community is a race". As if South Asians getting more votes translates directly to "representing their race", not their culture or religion. It's a similar kind of crazy to "Islamophobia is basically racism" which the UK government has been trying to legislate: https://www.arabnews.com/node/2588955/amp https://www.arabnews.com/node/2588955/amp
