Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Madrasa Board on Friday issued an advisory to all Madrasas in the state to unfurl the national flag and recite national anthem on Independence Day. 

The Madrasa Board on Friday directed the youth to follow the order, record the video, click pictures of the event and send it to the chairman of the board.

The board has also asked the students to take out a 'Tiranga rally' on the I-Day.

At present, there are 256 madrasas in the state. 

Adding to the order, the chairman of the MP Madrasa Board, Syed Imad Uddin, told ANI that it's a routine order to celebrate the Independence Day.

"It is a routine order to celebrate the I-Day and when the national flag is unfurled, the national anthem will also be sung," he said.

The development comes after the Uttar Pradesh MSP issued a circular in this regard and asked all madrasas affiliated to it to comply with its orders. The circular stated that along with photographs, videos of the programmes must be shot as well.

The move holds significance since this is probably the first time that the madrasas have been asked to hold cultural programmes on Independence Day.

The Yogi Adityanath government had recently asked madrasas affiliated to the UP Madarsa Shiksha Parishad to pay tribute to freedom fighters and hold cultural programmes on August 15.

While in the past, madrasas were directed to hoist the National Flag and recite the National Anthem.
