Madarasas in UP now required to provide information about students and Maulanas coming from outside to the Anti-Terrorism Squad

Laxmanpuri (UP) – The State Government has decided to make it mandatory for madarasas in the state to provide information about students and Maulanas (Islamic scholars) coming from outside to the Anti-Terrorism Squad. The Government has taken this decision after the arrest of Dr. Shaheen, one of the accused in the Delhi bomb blast case, from Uttar Pradesh. According to this decision, now all the recognised and illegal madarasas in the state will have to provide the full name, permanent address, Aadhaar card number, mobile phone number etc. of the students and Maulanas coming to them to the Anti-Terrorism Squad. According to officials, this is not just a survey, but a comprehensive security check through which outsiders can be identified at an early stage.

According to security agencies, in the last few months, there has been a sudden increase in the number of youth coming from outside states to many religious institutions. The anti-terrorism squad is keeping a special eye on this. The name of Parvez Ansari, a teacher at Integral University in Laxmanpuri, has come up in the investigation of the Delhi bomb blast. The security guards are also keeping a close eye on this university.

Editorial Perspective

Why wasn’t this done in all the states from the beginning ? Why did an incident like the Delhi bomb blast have to happen for this ? At least now such a decision should be implemented across the country immediately.
