Minister for Minority Affairs Chaudhary Lakshmi Naryan denied that there was any proposal before the state government to enforce a new dress code for students of madarsas.

Chaudhary issued the contradiction after Minister of state for MinorityAffairs, Mohsin Raza said that the state government might 'soon propose a new dress code' for madrassa students. 

Chaudhary tweeted, “Madarson mein dress code ko lekar sarkar ne koi nayi niti nirdharit nahi ki hai. Iss vishay ko lekar vibhaag ka koi mat nahi hai (The government has not formed any new policy pertaining to the dress code of the madrassas. On this issue, there is no view of the department).

Earlier on Tuesday, Minister of state for Muslim Waqf and Haj, Mohsin Raza said, “The aim of the UP government is to bring madarsas at par with other educational institutions in every sense. Till now, students in madarsas have been wearing 'kurta-payjamas' but now the dress code will be mad more formal. We might also try to meet the expenses,” said Raza.
