Abu Azmi Condemns Nitesh Rane’s Comments on Madrasas

After Maharashtra Minister Nitesh Rane called for an investigation into all madrasas in the state, alleging potential links to terrorism, Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi accused Rane of intentionally targeting and defaming Muslims.

Rane’s request for investigation stemmed from the discovery of an illegal madrasa in Nandurbar where a Yemeni citizen was allegedly planning terror activities. He expressed concern about madrasas potentially promoting extremist groups like the Taliban and demanded that all institutions be investigated.

Azmi countered Rane’s claims, stating that madrasas teach valuable virtues like brotherhood and love for the country. He argued that attributing the actions of an individual to an entire institution was unjust and that Rane’s statements were motivated by “cheap politics.”

Azmi also criticized the suggestion of shutting down all madrasas, arguing that it was an overreaction to isolated incidents. He instead proposed installing CCTV cameras in madrasas to demonstrate their educational focus.

The SP MLA compared the situation to illegal immigrants living in other countries, stating that employers are not typically held accountable for their visa status.

Rane’s previous controversial remarks, including a call to ban burqas during exams, further fueled Azmi’s accusation of a deliberate attempt to create animosity towards Muslims.

This rewritten version is more concise and focuses on the main points of the conflict between Azmi and Rane. It also clarifies the context of Rane’s accusations and provides Azmi’s counterarguments in a more organized manner.
