In a conference of madrasas organised by Darul Uloom in Deoband on Sunday, the leading Islamic seminary said it was not against the ongoing Uttar Pradesh Government survey of unrecognised madrasas in the State and appealed to the management of madrasas to cooperate with the government officials in carrying out the survey.
Rabta Madaris-e-Islamia Arabia, the body that governs the madrasas affiliated with Darul Uloom, released a manifesto that included a four-point advisory that said the management of madrasas should provide documents to the officials conducting the survey and maintain transparency in financial records. It further said the ownership records should be kept in order and the madrasa land should be registered as per the law. The madrasas have also been advised to maintain a clean and hygienic environment and provide healthy food to students.
The conference, attended by around 250 madrasas of the State, was addressed by Maulana Arshad Madani, president of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, and Maulana Mufti Abdul Qasim Nomani, rector of the seminary.
