New Delhi [India], Oct.31: The Congress Party on Tuesday flaged down the Uttar Pradesh Government's decision to set up NCERT books in Madrasas across the state.

Congress leader Salman Khurshid asserted "I think nothing is wrong in that. I think madrasas have been providing contemporary education other than their own religious knowledge. These books should be made available. I am sure Madrasas will be contented to comply with it. It will make the people, who come out from madrasas employable. They can't just become the priest and go to the mosque. So, I think this is the good decision."

Saffron Party BJP also welcomed the Uttar Pradesh government's inventiveness and lauded Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for putting into action Prime Minister Narendra Modi's revelation.

"It is a wonderful move by Uttar Pradesh government. All credit goes to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister has put into action the vision of the Prime Minister. It is a very good initiative. This will surely ensure that boys and girls from Muslim society will get the up to date education," BJP leader Zafar Islam  quoted

The Uttar Pradesh government on Monday said that it will initiate NCERT books in Madrasas across the state that fall under the UP Madrasa Board. The government has also strong-willed to make mathematics and science essential at the intermediate level from the next academic year.
