He said that four thousand Muslim and more than one thousand Hindu children are studying in Madarsa.

Salma said, "Today's atmosphere in the country and the region is not good. If something happened to a child when going out of the hostel to visit the temple, the answer will not be made. Now the only temple in Madrasa will be constructed. The temple will have statues of Shivaji and Hanumanji. In two months the temple will be built, and the mosque will also be built."
