Madarasas are not an educational institutions, but terrorist centres ! – Chief Minister
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had said that some madarasas in the state of Assam have become terrorist centers rather than educational institutions. Islamic teachers visiting the state will be closely monitored. He further stated that the state is developing a portal where their details will be recorded.
Editorial viewpoint
Ever since Himanta Biswa Sarma became the Chief Minister, there has been a massive crackdown on terrorists. So far 40 terrorists have been arrested in Assam. Due to these stringent actions their hands may seem tied at the moment, but to completely stop terrorism it is imperative that the Government take more stringent actions to remove terrorism from its roots. |
