Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind’s Maulana Kab Rashidi said that the Supreme Court’s verdict gave a very big message.
On Tuesday, Muslim religious leaders and opposition parties welcomed the Supreme Court’s verdict, which upheld the validity of the Uttar Pradesh Board of Madrassa Education Act.
Maulana Khalid Rashid Farangi Mahali, a senior member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, said that now madrassas can continue to operate with complete freedom.
“How can a law made by the government be unconstitutional? Thousands of people are associated with these madrassas and the Supreme Court’s decision has relieved them greatly. Now we can continue to run our madrassas with complete freedom,” he said.
All India Shia Personal Law Board spokesperson Maulana Yasoob Abbas said madrassas have given the country several IAS and IPS officers.
“We welcome how the Supreme Court has found the Act correct and justified. Madrassas have played an important role in the independence of the country. Madrassas have given us many IAS, IPS, ministers, and governors.
It is wrong to look at madrassas with suspicion. If any madrasa is going on wrong path, then action should be taken against it but not all madrasas should be looked at with suspicion,” Abbas told PTI.
Maulana Kab Rashidi of the Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind said the judgment conveyed a big message. “Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind welcomes this,” he said.
