Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) – The Department of School Education of the BJP Government in Madhya Pradesh has ordered verification of students studying in madarasas. Madarasas will be derecognised if names of non-Muslim or Muslim students are found to be fraudulent, or if children are being given religious education without the permission of their parents.

The Department of School Education has said that many non-Muslim children are being fraudulently enrolled as students in madarasas in the State to get the Government subsidies. This needs to be verified soon.

Editorial Perspectives

• The Union Government should pass such an order applicable to madarasas across the country and make citizens aware of the situation.
