Uttar Pradesh : Madrasas were running on paper? As soon as the survey started, it started disappearing! UP madrassa board president disclosed
The Yogi Adityanath government of Uttar Pradesh is conducting a survey of madrassas in the state. This survey has started from last Tuesday i.e. 13 September. The deadline for this survey of madrasas has been fixed till October 5. Regarding the survey of madrasas, the President of ‘Uttar Pradesh Madrasa Education Council’, Dr. Iftikhar Ahmed Javed has said that 2500 madrasas have disappeared from the state as soon as the survey started.
In a conversation with a newspaper, Dr. Iftikhar Ahmed Javed has said, “Any person who will be in favor of providing modern, better education to the children of poor Muslims, can not justify the survey of madrasas. We should understand who was opposing the survey of madrasas till now and why? The son of Asaduddin Owaisi who was calling the Madrassa survey as second NRC, his brother Akbaruddin Owaisi’s son is doing MBBS in America and daughter is studying law in London.
He appealed to the people not to get involved in Owaisi’s words. He said, “They want to open the way for their children to progress by teaching them in big English missionary schools. While wanting to confine the children of the poor to religious education, why? Only politics is responsible behind this, but I want to say that even the poor children of Muslims will now be able to get modern education. The way for their development has been opened.
Speaking further on the people opposing the survey of madrassas, the President of Uttar Pradesh Madrasa Education Council, Dr Javed also said that those who were opposing the survey of madrasas were calling it interference of the government in the internal affairs of Muslims. But when you take the assistance of Rs 3000 crore every year from the central government. In many madrassas, you will take a salary of 50 thousand to more than lakh rupees and use the electricity, water, road facilities provided by the government in those madrasas, so how was it your personal matter. The government has the right to make rules for such institutions and take care of its stakeholders. No one can escape this.
Further, Dr. Iftikhar Ahmed Javed said that it is true that a large number of madrasas were running only on paper. The donations and zakat money coming in his name was going into the pockets of the wrong people. When the survey was started, it was being said that there are more than 19 thousand madrasas in UP. But now their number is reduced to only 16,513. That is, more than two and a half thousand madrasas have disappeared. This will save money going into the wrong hands and this money will be spent on the education of the children of poor Muslims.
