Saharanpur News: Pushkar Singh Dhami government of Uttarakhand has decided to make Sanskrit language mandatory in madrassas. Soon children will be seen studying Sanskrit in the madrassas of Uttarakhand, for this, pundits will impart education to the students. A round of reactions has begun on this decision of the Dhami government. After this initiative of Uttarakhand Madrasa Education Board, Madrasa operators in Saharanpur said that there is no harm in it.
Maulana Mohammad Yakub Bulandshahri said that there is no harm in it. No matter how many languages, knowledge and skills a person acquires. In this, man's own intelligence gets enhanced. If the government is taking such a step, if the government wants to provide expertise to the soldiers along with religious and Islamic education, then there is no harm in it.
The matter of Uttar Pradesh is with the Government of Uttar Pradesh. As far as Madrasas are concerned, Madrasas are an example of Islamic education. Under our law, all Indians have the right to receive education in their respective religions. For this, Madarisha Islamic has been established. There is Islamic education in it which has been going on for years.
'If the government wants to add something to its syllabus then what is the harm in that?'
He said that there are 1500 madrasas in UP, out of which 500 are under the government. If the government wants to add something to its syllabus, then what is the harm? The benefit will be based on the intentions of the government, when the government will provide jobs to those who study. It will be beneficial if you encourage those who want to study further. If the government gives its name to something and leaves it midway, it will be of no use. The government is not recruiting Urdu teachers and the government is not taking madrassas on grant. The facilities that madrassas used to get earlier. They are all closing down. If the registrations are stopped then what will be the benefit, there will be loss.
Haji Yunus, MLA from Mustafabad, Delhi, from Aam Aadmi Party, who reached Saharanpur, said that knowing Sanskrit or any other language is a fundamental right of a person. Everyone should know every language, whether it is Urdu or Sanskrit. I want to tell the Madrasa Board and Uttarakhand Government that the way they have implemented Sanskrit in Madrasas, in the same way as there are minority schools and institutions.
Urdu should also be compulsory in all of them. It is also very important for minorities to know Urdu. Earlier, in the Gurukuls which were run like Madrasas, Urdu was taught along with Sanskrit. The way this work of spreading hatred is being done through tongues and a message is being given that look, we have done this for this class.
'Every language should have the freedom to read'
He further said that, we have to rise from hatred and the way the Delhi government and chief Arvind Kejriwal have worked for every section, everyone's support, everyone's development, whether it is in the health sector, whether it is in the field of education, whether it is in the field of electricity. Be it water or water in the area, every common man is getting its benefit. A government is successful which thinks for everyone. It has been announced in Delhi that there is no restriction on children belonging to any religion who want to study Urdu.
If there are 20 children studying Urdu in a class, then they get one teacher to teach Urdu. Similarly, every language should have freedom to read, only then our country can progress, otherwise it will remain a political stunt.
