Children could have the selection to go away madarsas
Sarma stated that the kids are enrolled in madarsas when they’re too younger to take choices on their very own. Fathers admit them within the madarsas. He claimed that in a survey achieved by the federal government, they discovered that many youngsters don’t proceed to review in madarsas. The Assam authorities will guarantee these youngsters have the selection to review in madarsas or in an everyday faculty. He added that if Ajmal says, BJP will shut madarsas, he’s appropriate, as they’ve already closed state government-run madarsas.
Education is the federal government’s duty, not madarsa’s
When Sarma was requested in regards to the opposition his authorities is going through by the Muslim clericals, he stated that it’s the authorities’s duty to make sure that youngsters get the correct training. It is the duty of the federal government to work in the direction of the welfare of the scholars and supply them training. “Muslim clerics’ job is to go to the mosque to teach religion. It is the responsibility of the government to educate students, it is the job of education minister. We will fulfill our responsibility and they should fulfill their responsibility. Where is the dispute in this?” Sarma added.
Hindus don’t destroy mosques, Ajmal’s ancestors have destroyed many temples
On the allegation by Ajmal that the BJP authorities will demolish mosques if they arrive again in energy, Sarma stated that so far as the mosques are involved, Hindus wherever in India wouldn’t assault mosques. However, the ancestors of Ajmal have demolished many temples. “Destroying the place of worship is their language, not ours,” stated Biswa.

At that point, Biswa had stated, “We have introduced a Bill whereby all madrassas will be converted into institutes of general education and the state government will not establish any madrassa in the future.
