300 more madrasas to be closed in Assam: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, reiterating his vow to continue the crackdown on madrasas in the state, on Thursday said 300 more madrasas will be closed in the state.

“There was a meeting between the BJP and the people who run these madrasas. There is a consensus that 300 more madrasas will be closed down. This is a result of the discussion between the Assam police and the Qaumi organisations,” said the Assam chief minister.
