BJP MLA from Indore and Madhya Pradesh cabinet minister Usha Thakur has kicked up a controversy by saying that all the radical and terrorists are raised in madrasas.
Thakur, a minister for tourism and culture in Shivraj Singh Chouhan government in Madhya Pradesh, called for the shutdown of madrasas in the state, saying “religion-based education is spreading radicalisation”.
“There should be uniformity in education. Religion-based education is spreading radicalisation, feeling of enmity. Therefore, every student should get the same education collectively. If you are a citizen of the country, you will see that all radicals and terrorists are raised in madrasas, they had turned Jammu Kashmir into a terror factory,” she said at a press briefing on Tuesday.
