The CM further said, "This is the second Madrasa we evicted as they were not running as an institution but were running as a terrorist hub. I don't want to generalize, but we investigate and take appropriate action when a complaint of fundamentalism comes." The demolition came after two more persons were arrested linked with AQIS - ABT activities, who were associated with the later demolished Madrasa.
