The government has sealed over 50 ‘illegal’ madrasas in a span of 2 weeks. Experts say it is using communal politics to take the focus away from crucial issues.
Teachers in UP madrasas haven’t been paid salaries since 2017, and the state honorarium of Rs 3,000 a month has also been withdrawn. Even students are forced to take up menial jobs to help their families.
Recently, Assam CM said he intends to close all madrasas as he wants schools, colleges & universities instead. Though he has faced criticism, a section of stakeholders support his measures.
Shadaab Shams, who was elected unopposed to the position last week, said the board also plans to introduce mainstream education in madrasas through subjects like maths and science.

Wake halal, brush halal, teeth halal, bath halal, talk halal. I even saw a youtube video that advocated halal sex for Muslims!
Rotten politics. Why dont these bigots label everything a Muslim does as jihad? For eaxmple, wake jihad, brushing teeth jihad, bath jihad, talk jihad?
The Musilm community does have serious challenges but one fails to see how such actions will resolve them. How will they bring the community to progress. How will the talent in the Muslim community be tapped for the betterment of the community and the country?
All this is happening in what is called Devbhoomi by these perpetrators. Would the almight really treat people of other faiths with so much contempt?
