Feud over leadership of madrasa teachers
Staff Correspondent
Ruling coalition partner Jamaat-e-Islami and National Committee to Resist Aggression (NCRA), backed by another coalition partner Islami Oikya Jote (IOJ), are at loggerheads over the leadership of madrasa teachers in the country.The Jamaat move for holding a convention of madrasa teachers in the city today in a bid to form a separate organisation has angered the IOJ and other Islamic organisations which already have strong hold among them. NCRA Convenor Mohiuddin Khan in a statement on Wednesday alleged that some people under direct patronisation of Jamaat has organised the convention to foil their movement for establishing a separate Arabic University in the country. He categorically accused the Jamaat of conspiring to create division among the madrasa teachers. The NCRA is going to hold a similar convention of madrasa teachers in the city on July 4. "Formation of a separate organisation of madrasa teachers is nothing but a move to create division among them when they are united for the demand of an Arabic University," said the statement.
