Congress leader Hussain Dalwai’s statement has come to light on the ongoing debate regarding the investigation of madrassas and their funding source. On this issue, he said bluntly that if investigation has to be done then why should it be limited only to Madrassas, rather all the institutions should be investigated equally.

Hussain Dalwai said, “If you are investigating madrassas and asking where the funds come from, then I ask, where do RSS get funds from? Investigate that too. Where do big temples get funds from? Investigate that too. The point is, why talk only about madrassas? Talk about all.”

After this statement of Dalwai, the discussion has intensified in political circles. He says that it is not right to raise questions by selecting any one community or institution.

Questions raised on the intentions of the government

The Congress leader alleged that in the name of investigation of madrassas, a certain section is being targeted. He said that many types of social, religious and ideological organizations are working in the country, which get funds from different sources. In such a situation, if transparency is being talked about, then this rule should apply equally to everyone.

RSS and temples also mentioned

In his statement, Dalwai clearly took the name of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and big temples and said that the funds received by these institutions should also be investigated in the same way as madrasas are being investigated. He says that only this will maintain fairness and trust.

It is believed that political reaction is certain after this statement. The opposition may try to put pressure on the government by making this an issue. At present, the issue of investigation of madrassas has once again come to the center of political debate.

During the Zero Hour of Lok Sabha, BJP MP from Meerut Arun Govil demanded installation of CCTV cameras in mosques and madrassas. He said that these are also big public and community places, where it is very important to ensure security. He made it clear that the purpose of his statement is not to oppose any religion, but to protect the citizens of the country.

Arun Govil said that today CCTV cameras have been installed in temples, churches, gurudwaras, colleges, hospitals, markets and most public places across the country. He said that these cameras have proved to be very effective in transparency, security and crime control. But, according to him, this system is not yet implemented in mosques and madrassas, whereas these are also big public places where many people come and go every day and security is equally important.

‘Cameras are also installed in Mecca and Madrassas of Saudi Arabia’

Govil said, ‘For security reasons, CCTV cameras have been installed in Mecca and Madrassas of Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam. This system can be adopted there by giving priority to safety, then why is there hesitation in implementing similar safety standards in India?

He stressed that if security is paramount at a holy place like Mecca, then the same principle should be adopted in India.

Appeal to the government to make a uniform national security policy

Arun Govil appealed to the Central Government to formulate a similar national security policy, under which cameras should be made mandatory in mosques and madrasas as has been done in temples, schools and other public places. He said, “This will further strengthen our national security system.”

After this statement of Govil, the discussion on safety standards has once again intensified. Many people are considering it as a necessary step towards equal security policy, while some are also calling it a controversial issue. But Govil is firm on his statement and says that security is for everyone and no one should have any objection to it.
