There has been a stir in Maharashtra after the incident of a madrasa asking for ‘virginity certificate’ from girl students in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh. Taking this matter seriously, Maharashtra State Minority Commission Chairman Pyare Khan has issued orders to investigate minority educational institutions and madrassas in all the districts of the state.

Pyare Khan said that I have seen the incident in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, which is very shameful. After this I have sent a letter to all the district collectors of Maharashtra. It has been instructed that a special team should be formed in every district, which should visit all the minority schools and madrassas.

This big team will investigate madrassas

Maharashtra State Minority Commission Chairman Pyare Khan said that more and more officials of the Child Welfare Department will be included in the investigation team into the Moradabad Madrasa incident so that their situation can be understood by talking to the children. He said that we want to know through counseling from the children whether such a case is happening in Maharashtra also.

Strict action will be taken against those found guilty

Minority Commission chief Pyare Khan said that if the investigation confirms such acts against any organization or individual, then strict action will be taken against them. Any organization or individual found involved in such shameful acts will not be spared at any cost. We will directly send the operators of those institutions to jail.

Safety of children is paramount – Pyare Khan

Pyare Khan clarified that the main objective of the commission is to protect children and their rights. Madrassas and minority institutions are centers of imparting education and values, such inhuman acts are unacceptable there. There will be no compromise with the dignity and respect of children.

Preparation for investigation campaign across the state

Now in Maharashtra, the District Administration and Child Development Department are together going to start a statewide investigation campaign. In the coming days, all madrassas and minority educational institutions will be inspected so that such incidents are not repeated.

This step of Pyare Khan has been welcomed by social organizations and child rights activists. He says that this investigation will not only fix accountability but will also increase transparency in minority educational institutions.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma clearly said that no laxity will be taken on corrupt and careless employees. During the review meeting at the Chief Minister’s Office on 1 September, he instructed the officials that the state government is committed to transparent and accountable good governance, so all the employees should give top priority to the work related to public interest.

Chief Minister Sharma said in the meeting that officers and employees should solve the problems of the common man with full devotion and dedication. He also clarified that strict action will be taken against those who are negligent in work and employees involved in corruption, while those who work honestly will be honored. For this, the District Magistrates have been ordered to prepare a list of such personnel and send it to the government, who are allegations of indiscipline, negligence or corruption.

Review of flood affected areas

The Chief Minister also reviewed the areas affected by heavy rains in the meeting. He directed the District Magistrates that relief and rescue operations should be carried out rapidly in areas affected by heavy rains. Protection of every life and property should be given priority and immediate assistance should be provided to the victims. Sharma said that the officer should manage disaster with sensitivity and readiness so that there is no negligence.

Neighboring states confident of cooperation

Chief Minister Sharma also spoke to Haryana Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on September 1. He assured both the states that the Rajasthan government is ready to provide all possible help in this hour of crisis. He said that it is our responsibility to stand with neighboring states during the disaster and the Rajasthan government will play it with sensitivity and readiness.
