New Delhi: Aaasm’s Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma vowed to keep going with his campaign against madrasas in the state, saying that people like to attend schools and universities for education more than madrasas. 

While taking part in Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) ‘Vijay Sankalp Yatra’ in poll-bound Karnataka, he claimed to have closed over 600 madrasas and turned them into general schools.
