The Commission said that children from non-Muslim communities were being admitted to Government-funded madarasas and were also being provided with scholarships. “This is a clear-cut violation of any contravention of Article 28(3) of the Constitution of India that prohibits educational institutions from obligating the children to take part in the religious instruction without the consent of the parents,” the letter read.
Editorial viewpoint
Why have the States not done this themselves ? It is necessary that Hindu Organisations look into this matter. The Hindu Organisations should on a war footing, see how Hindu children can be given their religious education, just like the Muslims are being taught their religion in the madarasas ! |
