\"\"Lucknow: Authorities in BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh have demolished a madrasa serving children in a Muslim-majority village, less than a day after Hindu extremists staged protests demanding its removal, amid growing concerns over the use of bulldozers against Muslim institutions in Modi\u2019s India.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the Islamic seminary in Isuniya village of Unnao district was reduced to rubble as bulldozers and excavators moved in under heavy police deployment.<\/p>\n

The action followed demonstrations by members of the Bajrang Dal, an organization affiliated with the Hindutva network, who accused the madrasa of illegally occupying public land and demanded immediate demolition.<\/p>\n

Officials claimed the madrasa was built on approximately 0.835 hectares of government land recorded in revenue documents as a playground and sports field.<\/p>\n

However, the demolition came shortly after the protests and memorandums submitted by Bajrang Dal activists to local authorities, pressing for swift action and warning against delays.<\/p>\n

For residents of the Isuniya village, the operation resulted in the loss of an educational facility that had been serving children in the area for years, with community members watching as the classrooms and structures associated with the madrasa were razed under security cover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
