Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal on Wednesday said there was little support to the formation of a madrassa board from the Muslim community. He said at a function in New Delhi that he had only discussed the issue with MPs after a proposal was made in this direction by the National Commission for Minority Education, but the MPs opposed it. Making it clear that the Government has never proposed to set up such a board, Mr. Sibal said the board is a suggestion of the Sachar Committee that felt that the functioning and modernisation of the madrassas should be supervised by a body which has more academics than theologians. He added that there are special programmes for the minority community in the country. Mr Sibal also dismissed apprehensions that the influx of foreign universities into the country following the passage of the Foreign Universities Bill will lead to cultural invasion. He further added that the Bill has enough provisions to keep away non-serious players and fly-by-night operators from the country.
