'Quran' cannot be taught at the cost of govt money: Himanta Sarma on madrassas shut down in Assam

Assam Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Tuesday that if the state government is bearing the cost of teaching the Quran in madrassas, then Bible and Bhagavad Gita should also be taught by the government. Sarma said, "In my opinion, teaching 'Quran' can't happen at the cost of government money, if we have to do so then we should also teach both the Bible and Bhagavad Gita. So, we want to bring uniformity and stop this practice."
