    Lucknow: With an eye on the 2024 general election, the BJP will distribute a compilation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s monthly radio address ‘Mann ki Baat’ translated into Urdu among madrasas and Islamic scholars in Uttar Pradesh in a bid to woo Muslims.

    Uttar Pradesh BJP Minority Morcha President Kunwar Basit Ali has compiled 12 episodes of the prime minister’s radio programme for the year 2022.

    “Twelve episodes of Prime Minister Modi’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme have been translated into Urdu and will be published as a book. Episodes from January to December 2022 have been included in this. It has been compiled by me and translated by Tabish Farid of Meerut,” Ali told PTI.

    “It is expected that the book will be ready and printed during Ramzan. The target is to take this book to one lakh people,” he added.

    The book is also set to include congratulatory messages from heads of Islamic educational institutions such as Darul Uloom Deoband and Nadwatul Ulema.

    “The book will not be available for sale. It will be distributed as a gift in Muslim-dominated areas of Uttar Pradesh. Workers of the BJP’s state minority cell take this book as a gift to prominent madrasas, Islamic scholars, Urdu teachers and ulemas,” he said.

    Ali said the purpose of the exercise is to spread the prime minister’s messages among the Muslim community.

    “At many times it happens that the people of the Muslim community are unable to listen to the prime minister’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ which always has a deep message hidden for the betterment of the society,” he said.

    In the radio programme, the prime minister often mentions various schemes and initiatives of the government as well as people who have made outstanding contributions in the social sector, Ali said.

    “The purpose of publishing this book is that the Muslim community should also be benefitted and be inspired by the messages of the prime minister.”

    After organizing conferences to connect Pasmanda Muslims, the BJP is preparing for ‘Sneh Milan – One Country, One DNA’ conferences in the Muslim-dominated Lok Sabha constituencies of western Uttar Pradesh in April.

    Gorakhpur: The Uttar Pradesh government has started an exercise to track sources of the money reaching around 1,500 unrecognized madrasas running along the Indo-Nepal border and collect information regarding the number of students studying there.

    In a letter to district minority welfare officers of various districts, the registrar, of Uttar Pradesh Madrasa Education Board, Jagmohan Singh has sought details about the strength of students along with income and expenses records of madrasas functioning at the borders.

    Madrasas have to be categorized into three categories.

    In the first category, the madrasas with a strength of 100 to 200 students, while in the second category madrasas have an enrolment of over 200 to 500 students and in the last category, madrasa with over 500 students will be listed.

    Gorakhpur minority welfare officer Ashutosh Pandey said a letter to this effect had been received and the objective of the exercise was to update the record of the Madrasa Board website.

    These madrasas are located in Balrampur, Shravasti, Maharajganj, Siddharth Nagar, Bahraich, and Lakhimpur Kheri districts.

    During the state government’s 46-day madrasa survey conducted in September-October last year seeking information on 12 aspects, including their source of funding, most of these madrasas had claimed that they got ‘zakat’ from cities like Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad but there was no record of the money that reached them.
