Uttar Pradesh: Singing National Anthem on Independence Day in all UP Madrasas seem catching spark on political front as a Bareilly ‘Qazi’ asks Barelvi Madrasas to Celebrate I-Day ‘Without Singing National Anthem’.
Students have been asked to sing songs on nationalism and discuss the history of August 15 and the freedom fighters. The circular also calls for holding cultural programmes based on the theme of national unity, along with sports activities. The Madhya Pradesh Madrasa Board later followed in the UP MSP’s footsteps and ordered all 256 madrasas in the state to unfurl the national flag and recite the national anthem on August 15.
UP Madrasa Shiksha Parishad has also issued a circular in this regard and asked all madrasas affiliated to it to comply with its orders.
The circular states that along with photographs, videos of the programmes must be shot as well. According to the circular, the flag hoisting and recitation of the National Anthem will take place at 8 a.m. After that, homage will be paid to the soldiers and martyrs of the freedom struggle.
