Shia Waqf Board chairman asks Narendra Modi to ban madrassa education, says it increases terrorism

[TM Riddle]

Claiming that madrasas were producing “more terrorists than civil servants,” Shia Central Waqf Board chairman Wasim Rizvi on Tuesday appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to abolish madrasa boards across the country and re-categorise them as “schools” with a common, secular education policy.

Interesting comments from Mr.Rizvi .
Although I personally do not believe in outright banning as it might not be able to solve the root problem but a complete overhaul of Madrasa education and infrastructure is the need of the hour and Govt should look to build consensus on the matter with holding discussions with various stakeholders as well as the different opposition parties and at the same time trying not to politicise the issue like it happened in the case of Talaq-e-biddat .

There would be mass social unrest if this guy’s advice is followed. I can just imagine the headlines now: “Hindu Nationalist Government targets Sunni Madrassas on the advice of Shiite leader”.
