The All India Ulama and Mashaikh Board (AIUMB), a representative body of the Sunni Sufi sect, Sunday accused the Centre of succumbing to the demands of Muslim extremists, and demanded that the Central Madrasa Board Bill be passed to provide modern education to madrasa students.
The AIUMB today held a Muslim Maha Panchayat in Moradabad to exhort political parties not to ignore Sunni Sufi Muslims.
Propping up another issue for the upcoming Assembly elections, the AIUMB passed a memorandum demanding modernisation of madrasas, enactment of a law for protection of Sufi dargahs, and control of managing dargah wakfs to be taken back from non-Sufis.
Demanding quality education for Muslims, the AIUMB passed a memorandum in support of the Central Madrasa Board, which said, “We have consensus that the step of the central government to set up the Central Madrasa Board is welcomed. In the present scenario, it was required that modern education along with traditional education in madrasas be included, but not diluting basic teachings of Islam in its traditional form also through Quran, Hadith and Fiqah.”
