Terror funding and spread of Islamic terrorism under the guise of madrassas

A Survey of non-government aided madrassas is going on in Uttar Pradesh since last 10 September. The survey is being conducted by the state government on the recommendation of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR). About a fortnight ago, Uttar Pradesh's Minister of State for Minority Welfare, Danish Azad Ansari had told that the NCPCR had received complaints of irregularities in several madrassas. To investigate all these, NCPCR had requested the government for a survey, which is why it is happening.

What is the source of income for teachers in madrassas?

It may be mentioned that there are 16,461 madrassas in Uttar Pradesh, out of which only 560 are government-aided. All other madrasas are self-financed. According to the Minister of State for Minority Welfare, Uttar Pradesh, all the complaints made to the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights about the children studying in these madrassas and whether these madrasas are fulfilling the necessary conditions as per the requirements of NCPCR, have been surveyed. He is going. This survey is being done only to know how many students are studying in these madrasas, whether they have a drinking water facility or not, how is the furniture of the madrassa, how is the electricity supply, whether the toilet is good or not, teachers What is the number of teachers? What is their source of income and what is the affiliation of the madrasa with any non-government organization? This is general information, which the state government needs to know for the larger interest of lakhs of children who are studying in these madrassas.

Why did the UP government order to conduct of the survey?

Even before the start of this survey, AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi started tremendous politics about it. He called it unnecessary interference of the government in the rights of minorities. According to Owaisi, madrasas run under Article 30 of the Constitution, why did the Uttar Pradesh government order a survey? Do they say that why does the government want to interfere in the system of madrassas which do not give help? After this statement of Owaisi, not only did UP Minorities Minister Danish Ansari attack, saying that they always do politics to mislead Muslims, but NCPCR President Priyank Kanungo also said that Owaisi is lying outright. The logic of Article 30 does not apply to government surveys, as the government is the custodian of the rights of children who are out of school.

The government has the right to know the condition of out-of-school children and to include them in the purview of the education system. In Uttar Pradesh, not very many, but about one crore children are studying in such madrasas, whose full figures are not with the government. One of the reasons for the poverty and backwardness of Muslims in the country is that in the name of religion, they get trapped in such a madrassa education system, which is not accounted for by the governments.

This is the reason why a large number of Muslim youth who study in madrassas are not only cut off from the mainstream education of the country but also lag in their careers. In such a situation, it becomes the responsibility of the governments to compel madrassas for their holistic evaluation keeping in mind the future of Muslim youth, so that they become accountable for securing the future of a large number of the young generation. But due to vote politics, all Muslim leaders do not want any government to take any step for the betterment of Muslims or make those institutions accountable, which raise funds in many ways in the name of education of Muslims, etc.

In this context, on 18 September, Maulana Arshad Madani in Darul Uloom Deoband of Saharanpur made it clear that he had no problem with the survey of madrasas. Addressing about 500 madrassa operators, he said that madrassas should not oppose this survey. After all, the chaos that will be exposed, it is only those youth who study here that it is beneficial. Arshad Madani insisted that there is no anti-national activity in madrassas. So why should we oppose such a survey? A 12-member expert committee was also constituted in this conference, which will talk to the government in detail in this matter and try to get help to the madrassas who are not getting government assistance so far.

Overall, we deliberately make certain subjects and communities very psychologically sensitive. It is not that there is no truth behind this, yet in principle, we have no right to believe that if the Child Protection Commission receives complaints from Muslim households about their children being abused and based on those complaints The government should try to know whether there is truth in them or how true are the claims of the institutions which claim to teach children, etc.? In such a situation, no one should oppose it just to shine their politics. It should be that way only in Uttar Pradesh, a survey of madrasas of the entire country should be done, so that the real picture can come out.
