Action against madrasas in Bengal sparks political row; Owaisi calls it hatred towards Islam and Muslims.
Desk: The government’s decision to shut down 252 madrasas in West Bengal has heated up the political atmosphere. The government states that action was taken following a state-wide survey against madrasas that lacked necessary approvals and infrastructure or were not operating in compliance with established regulations. Meanwhile, BJP leaders have supported the move, describing it as action against illegal operations and alleged suspicious activities. Conversely, the opposition and Muslim organizations have questioned why all madrasas are being viewed through the same lens. The issue of madrasas is now fueling a broader political debate involving Hindu-Muslim dynamics and national security concerns.
