Meerat: The chief of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, Maulana Syed Arshad Madani, is said to have urged the Muslim community to find ways to establish separate schools for Muslim girls after Eighth Grade over the apprehension of their safety after reports about Muslims being targeted in co-educational institutions.
He suggested this in a recent conference of west Uttar Pradesh office-bearers in Deoband. IANS reports that though Madani was not available for comment on the subject, the Jamiat's state vice president, Maulana Nazar, confirmed Madani's statements.
According to Nazar, the primary worry stems from reports of certain organizations offering financial incentives and free accommodations for six months to a “Hindu who persuaded a Muslim girl to marry him.” This trend, as perceived by Madani and others, poses a threat to societal brotherhood and harmony.
The conference, attended by at least 1,500 delegates from 17 districts of western UP, addressed various issues, including the eradication of communalism, environmental protection, voter awareness campaigns, and the addition of new names to voter lists.
Discussions surrounding the safety of Muslim girls in educational institutions took centre stage, emphasizing the need for proactive measures to ensure a secure and harmonious environment.
The call for separate schools reflects ongoing concerns about the well-being and safety of Muslim girls, sparking a broader conversation about the challenges faced by minority communities in educational settings.
