Lucknow, Oct 30: Shia Cleric Law Board member Maulana Yasoob Abbas on Monday welcomed the decision of introduction of National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) books in Uttar Pradesh Madarsas.

Speaking to ANI, Abbas said "This suggestion is a good step; also Madarsas have played an important role right from the time of Independence. Without disturbing the course of Madarsas; it's a 'good move'. Before this gets implemented there should be good arrangements for the students".

"We only wish that the syllabus and the course of Madarsas should not be disturbed. People who are opposing it, they should not do it. We should accept education from whichever source we receive it from," he said.

Madarsas are minority educational institutions offering study in Islamic theology and religious law.

Currently, there are about 19,000 recognised and 560 aided madarsas operating in the state.

Earlier in January, the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh had made NCERT books mandatory for all schools affiliated to the Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UP Board) from academic session 2018-19.

Mumbai, Jan 30: Speaking at an event, Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Abu Azmi's son and businessman, Farhan Azmi said that if CM Uddhav Thackeray will build lord Ram's Temple at Ayodhya then he will build Babri Masjid there. He said, "My problem is with Uddhav Thackeray.

I respect him a lot and if in Shiv Sena somebody really deserves respect, then it is no other than Uddhav Thackeray. He never runs a government and I don't think he is running his party correctly.

If being the Chief Minister, Uddhav Thackeray says he is going to Ayodhya on 7th March, I will also go with him. He will build lord Ram's Temple and we will build Babri Masjid."
