In Hyderabad’s Balapur, a group of right-wing activists staged a dharna outside Madarsa Noomania, demanding its closure.

The seminary, which has been running for seven years, operates inside the Qutb Shahi-era Masjid-e-Hussaini, a nearly 400-year-old mosque where five daily prayers are held.

According to Amjedullah Khan, spokesperson of the Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT), the protest was staged deliberately to stir tensions.

“Communal elements staged a dharna demanding the closure of Madarsa Noomania. This is a 400-year-old Qutb Shahi masjid, and the madrasa has been peacefully functioning here for years. Such actions are meant only to create communal trouble,” he said.

Khan further accused the Balapur police of remaining passive during the demonstration, allowing protestors to raise anti-Muslim slogans for nearly two hours.

The madrasa’s management clarified that all its students are locals from Telangana, dismissing claims of outsiders being enrolled.

This isn’t the first such flashpoint. In April 2025, tension gripped Jinnaram village, Sangareddy district, after right-wing groups allegedly tried to attack Madrasa Arabia Taleem-ul-Quran, following the reported damage of two idols at a nearby Shiva temple.
