Tripura Social Welfare and Social Education Minister Santana Chakma on Tuesday said that the statement of her party MLA Sambhu Lal Chakma on closure of Madrassa education in the State was essentially his personal view. She said her party BJP believes in the concept of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and Sabka Vishwas’ and this should be the case in relation to every caste and community.
The singer turned politician Sambhu Lal Chakma stirred a controversy after he raised the demand to end the Madrassa education system in the State citing a similar decision in neighbouring Assam. “These madrassas are producing extremist elements and the State government should impose a ban on them”, he said while speaking at the recently concluded Budget session of the State assembly.
