BSP chief Mayawati on Friday criticised the Uttarakhand government over the sealing of madrasas in Dehradun, saying government must refrain from such “prejudiced” and “non-secular moves” that hurt religious sentiments.
Her remarks came after 15 madrasas in Dehradun district were sealed following the district administration’s order to launch a crackdown on seminaries running without registration with the board.
The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister also took a veiled dig at Congress leader Udit Raj for his remarks against the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).
