The proposed survey of unrecognised madrasas in Uttar Pradesh “smacks of evil intention”, rectors of more than 200 madrasas declared at a meeting in New Delhi.
At the meeting organised by the Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, a pledge was undertaken “to safeguard madrasas at any cost” and set up a helpline for any seminary facing problem after the Adityanath government announced that it would “examine unrecognised madrasas” in the State.
Syed Arshad Madani, president, Jamiat, said, “We won’t let divisive forces put an end to madrasas.” The Jamiat confluence felt the upcoming survey of Islamic seminaries was “a malicious attempt to disparage the madrasa education system”.
