ALL EYES ON SEMINARIES

There are two main issues that have prompted the move-the question of non-Muslim students studying in madrasas without the consent of their guardians, and the matter of non-existent students allegedly kept on the rolls in some madrasas so that they can keep receiving government aid. While the BJP regime claims that the move is aimed at making madrasas more efficient, madrasa owners claim that it seeks to weaken them and raise suspicion about their functioning in public.

The action against madrasas started after the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights wrote to the state government last year, asking them if Hindu children have been enrolled in madrasas-as was brought to its notice-against their parents' wishes. "There is no bar on Hindu children studying in a madrasa, but they have to secure parental/guardian consent like all other students before joining," says an official of the MP Madrasa Board.

A BOILING-HOT FIGHT IN MILKIPUR

A BOILING-HOT FIGHT IN MILKIPUR

The upcoming byelection in the assembly constituency of Milkipur, in Ayodhya district, carries immense significance for both the BJP and the Samajwadi Party (SP). Scheduled for February 5, it's a battle that could help shape the initial narrative for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly polls. The Scheduled Caste-reserved seat fell vacant after the 2024 general election, when its veteran SP MLA Awadhesh Prasad famously fought and won the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat-under which Milkipur falls, as does Ayodhya. Coming within months of the Ram temple inauguration, that loss had dealt a bitter blow to the BJP: it was tantamount to Hindutva being humbled in its symbolic homeland. Thoughts of redemption will therefore be uppermost in the party's mind.
