Make national anthem compulsory in Maharashtra madrasas: BJP
India Today
The Bharatiya Janata Party has demanded that singing the national anthem should be made compulsory in all madrasas across Maharashtra.
Taking a cue from the Uttar Pradesh government’s recent move, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has demanded that singing the national anthem should be made compulsory in all madrasas across Maharashtra.
BJP Spiritual Coordination Cell Maharashtra chief Acharya Tushar Bhosale has praised the Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath for making the national anthem compulsory in madrasas across Uttar Pradesh.
Bhosale said, “Whether it is teaching based on religion or school-based learning, knowing about the nation is essential. We welcome the decision of the Yogi government and compliment the CM for the same. We want the Maharashtra government to take the same step soon.”
The order passed by the Uttar Pradesh state madrasa board will be applicable in all recognised, aided and non-aided madrasas across the state. The national anthem has been made mandatory at the time of prayer from the new academic session.
Meanwhile, the state government hasn’t responded to the demand but has been blaming the BJP for trying to create unrest in the state to destabilise the government.
