Kolkata: National
Commission for Minority Educational Institutions (NCMEI) Chairman
M.S.A. Siddiqui Wednesday said some education rights of the
minorities were being violated in "almost every state", including
Trinamool & Congress-ruled West Bengal.
"In almost every state, some education rights of the minorities
are being violated," Justice Siddiqui told reporters on the
sidelines of a programme organised by the NCMEI's "Committee on
Girls Education" here.
He said the rights were being violated also in West Bengal and
that he had apprised Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee about it.
"I apprised her (Banerjee) about the (educational) rights being
violated by the officials of the education department. I
complained to her that it appears that the officers have not been
sensitised about the constitutional rights of the minorities," he
said.
"The chief minister has given an assurance that she would take
care that no education rights of the minorities are violated," he
said.
The NCMEI is mandated to look into specific complaints regarding
deprivation or violation of rights of minorities to establish and
administer educational institutions of their choice.
Protection of
rights of minorities are enshrined in Article 30 of the
Constitution which states that "all minorities, whether based on
religion or language shall have the right to establish and
administer educational institutions of their choice."
The Commission can look into any complaints relating to violation
and deprivation of the rights of minorities to establish and
administer educational institutions of their choice.
