Jamiat lashes out at ‘saffronisation of education system’
The HinduThe Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind has hit out at “the attempt to saffronise the education system”. “The Jamiat strongly condemns the attempt by the Central and State Governments to saffronise the education system and compel students to engage in practices that contradict their religious beliefs,” the resolution said. Jamiat, which is the oldest Muslim body with roots in the freedom struggle, appealed to the government to “refrain from such provocative actions”. The Jamiat’s governing council condemned the outlook of some Bharatiya Janta Party leaders towards Islamic seminaries in the country. The recent negative actions and misleading statements by some BJP Chief Ministers and the NCPCR Chairman against madrasas and Islamic scholars are unacceptable,” the Jamiat resolution concluded.
