The state chapter of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind that is planning a huge rally on January 5 at Nizam College grounds demanded on Tuesday that madrassas (religious schools) in the country be kept out of the purview of the Right to Education Act.


Jamiat's state unit president Hafiz Peer Shabbir, who is also a member of the Legislative Council, told mediapersons that the government had not yet evolved a uniform mechanism to recognize the madrassa education system. There is also opposition within the Muslim community to seek affiliation from the government education boards and hence children studying in madrassas are kept out of the recognized school system. In such a scenario, the sufferers would be the madrassas and the madrassa-going children .

Zafar Javeed, general secretary , Federation of AP Minorities Educational Institutions , who was also present at the media conference, said that the central government should increase the 4.5 per cent quota for minorities in education institutions. "Allocating 4.5 per cent reservation for minorities who form 19 per cent of the country's population is absurd. The quota should reflect the ground reality," he said.

Peer Shabbir also said that the government should not waste any more time in introducing the Communal Violence Bill in Parliament. "We demand that the bill should specify that the district collector and police superintendent be immediately removed from service if large-scale riots break out in their jurisdiction. The government should also deduct ex gratia payment for the victims from their emoluments ," he said.

The other demands of the Jamiat included allocation from the funds allotted to MPs, MLAs and MLCs for the welfare of the backward classes and minorities.

Peer Shabbir informed that the rally, second in about 10 years, will be addressed among others by Union health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and Jamiat MP Mahmood Madani.
