00:10If there are illegal Islamic institutions, the madarsas, they need to be shut down.
00:15But there is the Fufra Sharif cleric who is now claiming that this is being deliberately done to,
00:21as injustice against Muslims, to target the Muslims and what will happen to the future of the Muslim children.
00:26So the government has come forth with a fresh strategy and defence to help understand why this action is being
00:32taken.
00:33The BJP, in fact, is charging as to why this is such a delayed step that must be taken now.

00:44issued Chokos notice to 100 madarsas following a statewide verification drive.

00:54students' infrastructure, funding, approval status.
00:57According to the government, 2,132 madarsas have valid approval.
01:02So nothing is going to happen to them, to the 2,132 madarsas.
