Akhilesh Yadav accuses BJP of targeting minority institutions after NCPCR report on madrasas

LUCKNOW: Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav has criticised the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for allegedly targeting minority institutions, particularly madrasas, following a report by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) that called for halting state funding to these institutions.

Yadav accused the BJP of promoting politics rooted in hatred and discrimination.

"This country belongs to everyone—the constitution grants us rights. The BJP wants to change the system established by the constitution. They are intent on spreading hatred and creating conflicts between castes and religions, but they won't succeed. The people of this country, and intellectuals of society, now understand that the BJP's discriminatory politics won't last long," said Yadav while addressing reporters in Lucknow.

Yadav further argued that if the BJP had genuine concerns about education, it should focus on improving the quality of education rather than targeting specific institutions.
