New Delhi, Sep 9: The Bahujan Samaj Party Chief and former Chief Minister of the state Mayawati has attacked Bharatiya Janata Party Government in Uttar Pradesh over the order of conducting a survey of private madrasas which were not aided by the Madrasa Board. The BSP Chief said that it would have been better if the BJP government focused on improving the condition of the government schools.
In two tweets on Friday morning, BSP Chief Mayawati said, “Complaints of Muslim society being exploited, neglected and riot-victimized etc. have been common in Congress times, yet after coming to power by doing narrow politics in the name of ‘appeasement’ by BJP, the game of being oppressed and terrorized (Muslim teasing) continues uninterrupted, which is very sad and condemnable.”
“In this sequence, now the BJP government has a sharp eye on madrasas in UP. In the name of the madrassa survey, efforts to intervene in private madrassas running on community donations are also unfair, while the government should focus on improving the condition of government-aided madrassas and government schools,” said the BSP Chief in her tweet.
The Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government had recently ordered a survey of the unrecognized (private) Madrasas in the state. Many opposition parties slammed the move and some even termed it as ‘Mini NRC’ by the government. The announcement of the survey was made by MoS Minority Affairs Danish Azad Ansari on Wednesday kicking off a political storm in the state.
