MP: BJP MLAs moves Private Members' Resolution in assembly seeking to abolish Article 30 of Constitution

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], July 5 : The BJP MLAs from Madhya Pradesh on Friday moved a Private Members' Resolution seeking to abolish Article 30 of the Indian Constitution which gives the right to minorities to establish and administer educational institutions.
After moving the resolution in the state assembly, BJP MLA from Jabalpur North assembly constituency, Abhilash Pandey said that there should be a law for equal education and everyone should get equal education, then only the future of the coming generation could be built.
"I have moved a Private Members' Resolution regarding Article 30 of the Indian constitution which gives the right to minorities to establish and administer educational institutions. I think that there should be a law for equal education. Everyone should get an equal education, then only we can build the future of the coming generation. That is why I have moved a resolution with the message in the House," Pandey told ANI.
"I have seen many times that the Child Commission has submitted a report on what is happening in minority institutions. Everyone should get equal education, this country should move forward with equality," he added.
BJP MLA Usha Thakur supported the Private Members' Resolution saying for the unity and integrity of the country, such activities should be stopped.
"I welcome the Private Members' Resolution brought regarding Madrasas. For the unity and integrity of the country, such activities should be stopped. Our capable schools can provide modern education, hence there is no need for Madrasas separately," Thakur said.
Through the resolution, the Government of India will be requested to issue an order to close these madrasas, she added.
When asked about what kind of activities go on in these Madrassas, the BJP MLA said, "Be it Jammu Kashmir or Assam, madrasas were teaching treason. They have an important role in nurturing terrorists. Madrasas should be investigated from every angle. Strict action should be taken against anyone who wants to disturb peace and harmony in the country."
On the other hand, Leader of Opposition Umang Singhar said that the BJP always wanted to talk about communal issues and why didn't they want to talk about farmers of the state?
"Bharatiya Janata Party always wants to talk about communal issues. Why don't they want to talk about the farmers of the state? Shouldn't farmers get a minimum support price (MSP)? Shouldn't Farmers get their rights? The state government is making false promises. Why are they not talking about their Ladli Bahnas, why are they not giving them Rs 3000 a month to them? The state government and their MLAs are bringing such issues to divert attention," Singhar told ANI.
Congress MLA Atif Aqeel said that the BJP MLAs were taking such a step to save themselves from the nursing college scam though nothing would happen with this.
"The BJP MLAs were taking such steps to save themselves from the nursing college scam though it will not lead to anything. Innocent children study in madrasas who have difficulty even getting two meals a day. The principals and responsible authorities are running it with the help of donations," Aqeel told ANI.
Reacting to BJP MLA Usha Thakur's remark connecting Madrasas with terrorism, he said, "Nothing can be done about the virus in her mind."
