Bahraich Violence: On the petition of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, the Supreme Court has stayed the NCPCR's recommendation to close madrasas for not following the Right to Education Act and the action taken by the states along with the Center. The Supreme Court has stayed the orders of the UP and Tirupur governments to close unrecognized madrasas. Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind had filed a petition in the Supreme Court for this.

Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind, excited by the Supreme Court's order, said that we are keeping an eye on the cases related to Muslims across the country. The government is taking one-sided action against Muslims in the Bahraich violence case. If needed, we will go to the Supreme Court against that too.

The accused should be arrested immediately.
He said that in Bahraich, the BJP MLA has filed a case against the miscreants of his own party, which makes it clear who committed the incident. Such accused should be arrested immediately. Action should not be taken against innocent people but action should be taken against those who carried out the incident.

UP's legal advisor Maulana Kab Rashidi said that the Constitution has given us the right to run our religious madrasas. But the state governments were shutting down madrasas by issuing notices under the Right to Education Act. Whereas religious madrasas and Gurukuls are outside this law. But madrasas were being shut down by going against the rules. 
 

Impact in all states
We went to the Supreme Court against it and have got a big victory. Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind argued in its petition before the Supreme Court that this action has violated the right of minorities to establish and manage educational institutions. The letter has been written to two states, but its impact is being felt in all the states. 

A bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Mishra issued notice to the Centre and all the states and sought a reply within four weeks. The Supreme Court has stayed the NCPCR's recommendation and action taken by the Centre and the states to close government-funded/aided madrasas for not complying with the Right to Education Act.
