Despite Madarsa teachers staging dharna outside his house Minority welfare minister Mohammad Azam Khan supported their demands and appealed to Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to sack the officials blocking the wages of the Madarsa teachers for the past two years.
The statement of the minister was released here on Thursday after police used force against Madrasa teachers on Wednesday when they were staging protest near Azam’s official residence.
Khan said that the act of the teachers for raising abusive slogans against the government and me is condemnable and even termed that they were mislead by some opposition party leaders. I support the demands of the madarsa teachers who had not received their wages for the past two years, But on the other hand condemn their act of demonstrating in front of my residence,” he said.
He said the teachers could have directly come to him and spokesn to him instead raising slogans. “This has not gone well with the community. The teachers are makers of society and they should not behave like petty policians,” he said.
