Kolkata: Protests erupted in budget session of the West Bengal Assembly after Trinamool Congress (TMC) legislators objected to remarks by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Agnimitra Paul, who said that state funding for madrasas was fostering criminality among minority youth, triggering a major uproar in the House.
According to Global Mirror, participating in the debate on the interim state budget tabled a day earlier, Agnimitra Paul argued that funds allocated to madrasas were failing to uplift minority communities.
She claimed that instead of producing doctors, engineers, or teachers, such institutions were encouraging the growth of youth who “end up becoming criminals.”
