Several madrassa teachers have been arrested for their links with terrorist organizations. Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu said the Assam government can control all private madrasas in the state.
When asked whether private madrassas will be regulated, the minister said, “Till now we were not looking at the issue. We already have a law to monitor private educational institutions. But, not all private schools are covered under this Act now.”The minister said that the government is gradually taking measures to bring all private educational institutions under their control and monitoring under the existing law.
