Should state-run madrasas be closed? | Debate

The Assam government will close down all state-run madrasas and Sanskrit tols (schools) as it can't afford to teach religious scriptures with public funds, state Education and Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said.
Following the government's announcement, All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) chief and perfume baron Badruddin Ajmal said that if the BJP-led government shut down government-run madrasas, his party would re-open them after coming to power in the next year's Assembly elections.
