Prime Minister under the style, \u2018Reforming National Security System\u2019.\n<\/p>\n<p> 13.00 hrs. <\/p>\n<p>Wild and baseless allegations about madrasas have been made in this report, and it is said that the madrasas in our country, the Islamic madrasas that are teaching in our country, are a threat to communal harmony and national security. It makes such wild allegations that extremist teaching is being done in these madrasas. Now, Sir, I ask the Government\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>MR. SPEAKER: Shri Banatwalla, where is that report? Are you authenticating that report?\n<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"marker_ref\" href=\"\/search\/?formInput=SHRI%20G.M.%20BANATWALLA%20\">SHRI G.M. BANATWALLA <\/a>: The report has been given to all the Members. Copies of the report, I think, all the Members have received. At least, I have received from the hon. Home Minister with a covering letter and with warm regards. The matter has also appeared in the newspapers. The madrasas are being harassed. A countrywide harassment of themadrasas is going on; especially in U.P., madrasas aftermadrasas are being harassed.\n<\/p>\n<p>Sir, I ask the Government that in case there is any concrete evidence with the Government, then let that evidence be placed on the Table of the House. Otherwise, Sir, the Government must make it very clear that it does not subscribe to the observation about madrasas in this particular report submitted to it by a Group of Ministers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government is speaking, this report of the Group of Ministers is speaking, the language of the Sangh Parivar and creating tension. An entire minority community is being made a subject of suspicion. Ourmadrasas which are teaching the peaceful tenets of Islam are being targeted and are being harassed. The Government must make a statement saying that it does not subscribe to the baseless allegations. \u2026 (Interruptions)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lok Sabha Debates Regarding Reported Allegation Against The Islamic Madrasas &#8230; on 2 August, 2001 Title: Regarding reported allegation against the Islamic Madrasas teachings.
