Bulldozers on madrassas will continue: Assam CM

On Wednesday, AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal asked the state’s BJP-led government to stop ‘Bulldozer Raj’ and deal with anti-national elements in a legal manner.

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma said the government would continue to take “strictest action” if these institutions were used for “anti-India activities”.

The Assam chief minister said, “Our only objective is to ensure that they are not used by jihadi elements. If any madrasa is not being used for jihadi activities, there is no question of demolishing them.”

“The district administration in one of its orders said that the structure of the madrasa is weak and not safe for people as the madrasa building was not constructed as per APWD/IS norms.”, SP Swapnil Deka said.
