Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar has made wild accusations against certain madrasas for “fostering terrorism and posing a grave threat to the nation’s security.”

Speaking at the inauguration of a new hostel block for girls at Sri Vidyaranya Avasa Vidyalayam, Jammikunta, Karimnagar district, on Wednesday, September 19, the former Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief made these remarks which are not in tune with facts on the subject.

“Madarsas that provide training in making AK-47 rifles even with the help of broomsticks are breeding grounds for terrorism and pose a danger to the country’s security,” he claimed.
