“Waqf Board in itself is an able organisation and if someone, in a personal capacity, wishes to impart religious teachings, he is free to do so as per the provision of the Constitution,” added the Mhow MLA.
Congress media coordinator Narendra Saluja, while responding to the statement, said that the BJP is trying to give a communal colour to the upcoming bypolls and added the culture minister’s statement is part of this plan. Saluja further appealed to the Election Commission to act on the matter.
This comes after Assam Education and Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had said the government will shut down all state-run madrasas and Sanskrit tols (schools) as it cannot allow teaching religious education with public money. The minister had said the government will issue a formal notification in this regard in November.
