Commenting on the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights’ (NCPCR) recommendation of stopping madrasa funds, BJP National Spokesperson, R P Singh, welcomed the suggestion and remarked that instead of promoting education, madrasas are promoting Islam.
“Under the Right to Education, no child can be forcefully taught about another religion. In madrasas, Islamic knowledge is being imposed on children of other religions. Instead of promoting education, madrasas are promoting Islam. I hope the state governments take this matter seriously and regulate madrasa funding accordingly,” said the BJP National Spokesperson.
The NCPCR has recommended that all states and Union Territories discontinue funding for Madrasa Boards and eventually shut them down.
