Lucknow, Jan 10: The Shia Central Waqf Board of Uttar Pradesh has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to shut down madrassas in the country, alleging that education imparted in these Islamic schools encouraged students to join terrorist ranks
In a letter to the prime minister, the Shia body demanded that madrassas be replaced by schools affiliated to the CBSE or the ICSE which will offer students an optional subject of Islamic education.
The Board suggested that all madrassa boards should be dissolved.
The Shia Central Waqf Board chairman, Waseem Rizvi, claimed that most of the madrassas in the country are not recognised and the Muslim students studying in such institutions are moving towards unemployment. He claimed that these madrassas were mushrooming in almost every city, town, and village and were providing "misplaced and misconceived religious education".
He alleged that funds to run the madrassas were also coming from Pakistan and Bangladesh and that even some terror outfits were assisting them.
Reacting to it, All India Muslim Personal Law Board spokesman Khalilur Rehman Sajjad Nomani said madrassas had played a key role in the freedom movement and by raising questions on these schools, Rizvi was insulting them.
However, Rizvi said that madrassas should be replaced by schools that are affiliated to the CBSE or the ICSE and they should allow non-Muslim students too.
"These schools should be affiliated to CBSE, ICSE, and allow non-Muslim students. Religious education should be made optional. I have written to the PM and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in this regard," he said in a tweet.
"This will make our country even stronger," he said.
The letter cites two primary reasons to justify the demand of closing the madrasas. It alleged that the education imparted in the madrassas is not relevant to today's environment and therefore, they add to the long queue of unemployed youths in the country.
Rizvi said that the employability of students passing out from madrassas was very poor at present and they do not get good jobs. "At the most, they get jobs of Urdu translators or typists," he said. The letter also said that it has been found in certain cases that the education of these institutions is encouraging the students to join terrorist ranks.
After as many as 51 girls were rescued on December 30 in a raid on a madrassa in Uttar Pradesh, the Shia Waqf Board had said that all madrassas being run on Waqf properties will be closed down.
The student-activist, who was allowed to talk on stage, suddenly raised pro-Pakistan slogans. She was arrested by police after All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi snatched her mike.

Who the hell this bastard is to talk about Madrasas. It is sure that this donkey is current day Dajjal and giving this illogic statement on the advice of sangh parivar and bjp leaders. He is definately been paid of a huge amount of money to give this statement on behalf of bjp. He is a shoe licker + pee drinker of bjp leaders. He might be not knowing who are his parents. May Allah give him a taste of Jahannum during his life and let him be given hardest death. Let him beg for death. May Allah's curse be on him and his Masters.
Shia should be deported to Isarel. There is no difference between these two. They are back-stabbers. They cant be frends to anybody. Cheap people who create tension between different communities.
Allahu Subhanahuthala defenitly punshid to you in this duniya and Akira. Please wait and watch. Allah is great. He will show right path to you.
These Hypocrite goons are doing to get protection, favor from the BJP.
He is compromising their holy faith for worldly benefit.
If he has a little branin left in his head, he should study what is Islam.
Non-Muslims they know about Islamic real values than these Hyprocrites.
Such statements only makes their days to be numbered.
Beeing a Shia, Saddam Hussain of Iraq against for shias, because shias are out of Muslim community they are not considered as Muslims, and they have no right to talk about Madarasa and Masjid or Muslims. they are killed in Pakistan every day. insha Allah one day in this world there will not be any shia... Ameen..
Now Rizvibwill be inducted in any reputable company as Director for his comments by Modi/Yogi like Shazia Ilmi.

Modi's Pet
How many Crores this Stupid took from Dongi Modi and his terrorist group for barking this....
Irresponsible statement from a novice.He without any hesitaion plunged headlong in to a non issue,just to appease his BJP masters. His "chamchagiri" will get him some petty benifits. A whole generation is benifited from the Madrasa eductaion! I am a product of a part time madrasa,and done my MBA. All peace loving Indians should stand aganist this kind of nuisance mongers.
Fuck the barking dog
No one in the Muslim community considers Shia as Muslims. Their religion is nothing but a mixture of Shirk, Innovation, superstitious beliefs, & Kufr. So they do not have the right to comment on our Madrasa systems. It is clearly known to every one in the world that Shias promote crime, terrorism especially, Iran. We request our government to kick them out of the country
you are not a muslim u are shia and this type of words is expected from you people
