AIMPLB, other Muslim outfits condemn UP, MP actions against madrasas

Hindustan Times  

Lucknow The All India Muslim Personal Law Board and other religious and social organisations of Muslims have strongly condemned what they call actions targeting madrasas in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and other states. The AIMPLB press release highlighted the contributions of madrasas and their students in the country’s independence and post -independence development. The release signed by president of AIMPLB Khalid Saifullah Rehmani, vice president and president of Jamiat Ulema E Hind Sayyed Mahmood Asad Madani, Asgar Ali Imam Mahadi of Ameer Jamiat Ahal E Hadees, Mohammad Fazallur Mujahiddi, general secretary AIMPLB etc said that the Uttar Pradesh chief secretary had initiated a survey of madrasas and instructed district officials to transfer students from unapproved madrasas to government schools. The AIMPLB’s press release claimed that the district administration had already expelled non-Muslim students from these madrasas, transferring them to government schools, which violated personal rights. The press release said that in Madhya Pradesh, the situation was reportedly more severe, with authorities allegedly forcing madrasa students to recite Saraswati Vandana daily, a practice AIMPLB found objectionable.
