In this memorandum, it is said,

1. Hundreds of Madarsas are active in the State running Government grants. Of late it is seen that the Madarsas are indoctrinating children to have antinationistic, and anti-national feelings, and hatred against the majority community is being taught there. Some teachers and students of the Madarsas in the state have been arrested for terrorist activities.

2. It is being seen that in Karnataka the students, teachers, and Maulavis (Islamic Religious leaders) of the  Madarsas have participated in rioting, murder, and spreading antagonism. Recently when Kaniyhalal of Rajastan was murdered, Arif Muhammad Khan, Governor of Kerala said very emphatically that the Madarsas all over the country are spreading fanatisism, hence they should be banned. The ex-chief of Shia Central Waqf Board Wasim Rizvi ( Now Shri Jitendra Tyagi) had emphatically said that the Madarsas teach antinationalistic thoughts, so there should be a ban on them.

3. Last month after a Maulavi in Assam was arrested for terrorist activities the Government of Assam closed most of the Madarsas and transferred them to normal Government schools. Not only this the Uttarakhand Government has deregistered 17 Madarsas in the state. The Uttar Pradesh Government has ordered a survey of about 7,000 Madarsas in the state. It is found that in some madarasas’ girls are being sexually harassed. Not only this Priyank Kanoongo Chairman of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, says that in the Madarasas, there is a violation of Section 21 of the Constitution giving the right to Education to every Indian.

4. The above points are of great importance for the security of the country, as well as for the religious harmony in the states. hence the Karnataka Government should treat this matter seriously and ban the recognition given to the madarasa s and their education.
