While talking to media persons here, today State president of Shiv Sena, Dimpy Kohli and general secretary, Manish Sahni said that the statement given by Indian Army chief is a matter of grave concern that Madrassas in Kashmir are providing oxygen to violence in the State particularly in Kashmir.
He said the State is going through the tough phase and ruling party is pleasing separatists by one way or the other. He said that after listening hatred teachings in the Madrassas youth of Kashmir instigated to join violence and they take part in stone pelting. He said that School Education Department must take action against these Madrassas and must book the administration of these Madrassas who are provoking children to indulge in violence.
Sahni disclosed that Modi Government was well aware of the report of 2015 -16 instead of taking action they remain a mute spectator. He said that all the claims of Modi Government proved empty vessels.  He said that most of the students after having their teaching in the Madrassas involved themselves in stone pelting and stressed on the need to reform the education system. He blamed the Government for withdrawal of his orders of wearing  “Burka” for the teaching staff in these Madrassas due to the threat of separatists.
He further said that the separatists are demanding weekly holiday on Friday instead of Sunday. Shiv Sena demands a stern action against the teaching staff in the Madrassas and Government schools who are involved in anti-national and separatist activities and warned them to stop misguiding the youth of the State otherwise, Shiv Sena will start a campaign against them.
