'Exclusive colleges for Muslim girls in Karnataka not a good idea'


Kalaburagi, Dec 2 (IANS): President of JD(S) Karnataka unit, C.M. Ibrahim, slammed ruling BJP and the Wakf Board for attempting to establish exclusive colleges for Muslim girls.

Speaking to reporters in Kalaburagi, Ibrahim stated that the state government should think of imparting education in the interest of all sections of society. "Does anyone open separate colleges for Muslims and Hindus?" Ibrahim questioned.

The mind is not functioning properly for the ruling BJP leaders. The decision of the Wakf Board in this regard is also incorrect, he stated.

Behind the decision of the Wakf Board, there is a long term scheme of ruling establishment. There is a systematic attempt to make few sections of society devoid of education, Ibrahim opined.

In another five months, the ruling BJP government will go as it completes its tenure. BJP leaders at this time are talking about starting colleges? "We will come to power and start colleges for all in future," he said.

Those colleges will impart education to all sections and poor sections of society. We will establish colleges at hobli levels, he stated.

After the controversy erupted over the issue, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai had clarified that there is no discussion at the government levels to start separate colleges for Muslim women.

    Readers, " Integration " should be the cornerstone, for a healthy, safe society... the community is living in isolation... Seperate institutions for girls will create a climate of insecurity, fear, giving way to a potentially dangerous threat for the nation...

    I am sorry to say in some Muslims families they are so advanced matured They don't mind their women talking to anyone with no religion barrier .even when we have a re union they bring their family & come . But some Muslim men are hypocrites' they can do any wrong doings see other women, tease sleep no problem. But their women should see anyone shouldn't talk to anyone.. No other men should see them .

    "If you educate a woman, you educate a family, if you educate a girl, you educate the future." We have heard, that Muslim community is behind Christian and Hindu communities in the educational field. When I was in Mumbai, some Muslim girls (my daughter's classmates studying in Catholic schools) were coming to our house and I found they were in no way behind girls of other communities. Also, I went to a Muslim friend's house and I was surprised the was his wife was talking in English, so free and so intelligent. She said, she was educated in Gloria convent, Byculla. But,when her father-in-law came,she went inside and acted as if she does not know me. I feel Muslims should remove the shackles around their girls and let them show their worth to the world.
