India: Muslim Body Objects to UP Order Shifting Students from Madrasas

According to Muslim Mirror, the Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind, a Muslim organization in India, is demanding the withdrawal of a recent order by the Uttar Pradesh (UP) government.

The order mandates transferring non-Muslim students studying in government-aided madrasas and all students from unrecognized madrasas to government schools.

The Muslim body calls the move “unconstitutional” and discriminatory. They argue it splits students based on religion and disrupts thousands of independent madrasas, including prestigious institutions. Madrasas, they say, have a separate legal status recognized by law.
