Senior leader Siddiqullah Chowdhury on Friday strongly challenged BJP leader Agnimitra Paul over her remarks related to madrasa education, asserting that studying at a madrasa does not make anyone a criminal. His comments sparked a fresh political exchange between the ruling and opposition parties.
Chowdhury said madrasa education is a recognised system of learning and questioned attempts to portray students from such institutions in a negative light. He maintained that linking madrasa education with criminality was unacceptable and deeply hurtful to a large section of society. Addressing the issue directly, Siddiqullah Chowdhury demanded that Agnimitra Paul issue a public apology for her statement. He said remarks of this nature promote division and misinformation, and insisted that political debates should not target educational or religious identities.
The statement has added to the ongoing political friction in the state, with leaders trading sharp words over sensitive social issues. The matter is expected to draw further reactions as political parties continue to spar over the remarks.
