The Prayagraj Development Authority (PDA) sealed a madrasa in the city on Wednesday, following the discovery of counterfeit currency being printed there and the recovery of a book equating the RSS with a terrorist organization. Officials stated that the Jamia Habibia Masjide Azam Madrasa in Atarsuiya was sealed for being unauthorized.
During an August 28 raid, police uncovered a book titled “RSS: Desh Ka Sabse Bada Aatankwadi Sangathan” (“RSS: The Largest Terrorist Organization in the Country”) written in Urdu by former Maharashtra IG SM Mushrif. According to a senior Prayagraj Police official, both counterfeit currency and the controversial book were found during the raid. After translating the book from Urdu to Hindi, authorities confirmed its author as SM Mushrif. The police suspect that the madrasa’s Maulvi, Mohammad Tafseerul Arifeen, was using the book to spread anti-RSS sentiment among the students.
