Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Wednesday ordered a “review” of illegal madrasas and institutions in the state where “fanaticism” is taught. The chief minister tweeted about the decision after holding a meeting at his official residence to review the law-and-order situation ahead of festivals. It was attended by Home Minister Narottam Mishra and senior officials.
“Illegal madrasas and institutions in Madhya Pradesh where fanaticism is taught will be reviewed. Bigotry and extremism will not be tolerated,” Chouhan tweeted later. He also flagged online gambling as a new problem.
“The present Gambling Act in Madhya Pradesh is from 1876; it does not have any provisions against online gambling. We have decided to enact the Madhya Pradesh Gambling Act, 2023, to replace the existing Act,” he told reporters.
