What’s Ahead Now?
Before this month, officers of the Assam education department and the private Madrasa boards had a high- status meeting with the Assam Police. This was after the police force had learnt that the Al- Qaeda in the Indian subcontinent( AQIS) modules in Assam tried to radicalise Muslims through Madrasas.
The police are taking eviction drives in the Goalpara and Morigaon district of Assam to keep the situation under control. Bhaskarjyoti Mahanta, DGP of Assam said that they were looking into madrassas who were apparent in their behaviour. Talking about the high-status meeting, Assam DGP Bhaskarjyoti Mahanta said,” To ensure that there’s no misuse of Madrasa, we met the Islamic scholars and we wanted their opinion. We gave them certain suggestions like opening a board and police verification of teachers.”
Statements
The DGP further stated that they have given the private Madrasa boards a proforma to follow and have also asked them to maintain a ledger book and give details on descriptions of the land. If anyone fails to comply, legal action will be taken against the board. “There’s no question of allowing jihadi propaganda in madrasas,” the DGP added.
He further said that before December 1, all private Madrasa boards in Assam will be needed to give full details on all institutions under their supervision. The information will be posted on the Assam government website and every single Madrasa educator would be subordinated to police verification.The Assam Police have inarguably said that any’ Jihadi action’ carried out under the guise of religious lectures in Madrasa will be considered as the responsibility of the Madrasa Board.
