New Delhi: Home minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday said that the government is monitoring the activities of some madrasas over suspicions that foreign teachers there were indoctrinating young students in the jihadi ideology. The minister also appealed to the Maoists to give up arms and join the mainstream.
“We are keeping an eye on every activity,” Mr Singh said.
A secret report submitted to the home ministry by security agencies has suggested that madrasas with Indian teachers were not involved in any jihadi or separatist activities or indoctrination.
Mr Singh said there is no place for violence in a democracy and that the killing of innocents leads to nowhere. Addressing the 75th Raising Day of the CRPF, he said that Mao Zedong’s ideology, which is being followed by the CPI (Maoist), is forgotten even in China.
“But here (in India) you (Naxals) are killing your innocent countrymen by following that ideology,” he said.
