Guwahati: Reacting sharply to Assam chief minister
Himanta Biswa Sarma’s remarks on “Madrasa”, All India United Democratic Front MLA Rafiqul Islam on Thursday said he is “spewing hate to please RSS” as he “fears losing his position”. Earlier on Sunday,
Sarma had said the word “Madrasa” should cease to exist while stressing the “general education” in schools for all.
Hitting out at the chief minister, Islam said, “CM spews hate to please RSS. He said the word ‘
madrasa’ should cease to exist. Neither he would be able to do it, nor it would happen on its own. Articles 24 and 25 give us the right to read and propagate our religion. This is the right that the Constitution has given us. The chief minister’s chair is shaking. He fears losing his position. So he talks such that
RSS,
PM Modi, and Amit Shah become happy.”
The CM had also said as long as the word “Madrasa” exists, children will not be able to think about becoming doctors and engineers. agencies
