 "Tawde clarifies govt's stand on Madrasas, says move to strengthen education")
Maharashtra Education Minister Vinod Tawde on Saturday said the state government's move on Madrasas is just aimed at strengthening education standards.
"Many people have welcomed the kind of education we are providing in Science and Social Science. Under Madrasa education, we are not putting a ban on any kind of religious education. Instead we will be providing them with books. We just want to strengthen them," Tawde told ANI.
