Mangalore, October 14: Bharatiya Janata Party led Karnataka government is considering to introduce separate syllabus for Sunni Madrasa students in the state, according to Abbas Shariff Under Secretary, Social Welfare Department (Minority Welfare).

Speaking to media persons on the sidelines of a programme here, Mr Shariff said that the government is also thinking to convene a meeting of the leaders of Madrasa management committees of the twin districts to find out a solution for the confusion among a section of Muslim community over the text-books in this region.

Most of the Madrasas run by Ahl-u-Sunnat-wal-Jama'at (Sunnis), a group of Muslims controlled by Kerala based mullahs, are dependent either on AP group or on EK group text-books.

Conflict between the above two groups for various reasons including choosing text books for Madrasas has remained a matter of concern for many years.

However, a few Muslim organisations, which question the legitimacy of mullahs and proclaim Qur'an and Hadith as the final word in religious matters, have prepared separate text-books for Madrasa students.

Mr Shariff said that he has already issued a notice to all Madrasas urging to the continuation of the textbooks they were following till August 31, 2011.
