Governor Arif Mohammed Khan seems to have waded into the long-running debate over the nature of Islamic education imparted through madrasas in the country.
Mr. Khan's comment to reporters comes against the backdrop of the IS-style beheading of a person in Rajasthan for allegedly extending social media support to the two Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokespersons accused of making derogatory remarks about Prophet Mohammed.
Mr. Khan said madrasas should provide broad-based education to students instead of emphasising religious studies alone. Mr. Khan said, ”Muslim law provides for the beheading.”
