Kozhikode: A woman journalist working with a Malayalam newspaper here has come under online attack following her disclosure about alleged sexual exploitation of children in madrassas.
The journalist, V P Rajeena, incurred wrath of the members of her community after she went public on Facebook on Sunday about the happenings in madrassas which she claims to have witnessed during her childhood.
Rajeena, in her post, narrated how madrassa teachers allegedly used to “inappropriately grope” both boys and girls who came for religious studies.
This led to a furore and she was flooded with obscene messages and open threats on her profile. Facebook closed down her account following mass reporting by her critics.
When contacted, Rajeena said “My Facebook account was blocked following mass reporting. What I had said was no exaggeration but the truth and only the truth,” she told PTI.
She also said if the threats continue, she would be forced to approach the police.
Rajeena said her motives were questioned and efforts were made to present it as an attack on the religion.

There is lot of godmans in Madrassa who indulge in molestation and recently in kashmir a saint was caught for molestation. Lets admit Godman on both communities are fake. RSS is a patriotic Hindu organization who is working towards upliftment of hindu community and build a strong nation. It is anti-hindu congress who is indulging in divide and rule policy which they will see hindu backlash in next assembly election in karnataka. Cine actors did not find intolerance when Raj academy vandalized amar jawan jyothi, manhandled women cops in mumbai, prof Joseph hands chopped off in kerala, a voilent outburst… Read more »
Meanwhile point to note here is Dadri incident happend under SP rule and Kalburgi under congress rule and how can one blame central government? Need justification. Local state governement has the police force, home ministry, CID under them
A lot has been expressed by various quarters about writers, journalists, academics, artists, scientists and intelligentsia returning their awards or expressinig their concerns about the growing intolerance in the country. Just because one is not happy with their actions, one cannot condemn them and call them anti-national. In democracy, everyone has the freedom to express himself, however unsavoury his comments may appear to others and the latter have to accept anything that is unpalatable with a pinch of salt. Though, I am not fond of Bollywood films, however, I can say with certainty that Aamir Khan is much more patriotic… Read more »
V.P. Rajeena’s revelation does not surprise me. There are certain bad apples and rotten eggs in every religion.
I am told that the teaching in Madrassas lays much emphasis on Koran and, again, what is taught depends on the interpretation of the holy book as per the whims and fancies of the teachers.
It is the duty of the governments to ensure that children get quality education to attract them to go to these schools, rather than going to schools run on religious lines. Otherwise, the children will grow up lacking knowledge and skills, blinkered and regimented minds and will not be an employable commodity. They will be introverts all their lives.
The impact of madrasa based education is very clear in our society!! Take a look at industries based on knowledge and education – you will clearly see the absence of a particular community!! Now look at the reports from Mangalore International Airport. Any smart person can connect the dots and understand what’s going on!!
Original R.Pai: “The impact of madrasa based education is very clear in our society!!” Madrasa based education is wreaking havoc in Muslim Majority countries and the “Hindu Madrasa Based education” does the same in Hindu Majority Country. RSS Paimaam, the problem in India is not by “madrasa based education”, but is due to “Hindu Madrasa Based education” i.e. the “shaake” based education. What Muslims do in Madrasas, the RSS does in India in the “Shaake”! Both corrupt the innocent minds and attitude and aptitude of the lads during their formative period. These lads, who were corrupted by the RSS since… Read more »

RSS Paimaam, do not forget the fact that the press was underhandedly responsible to bring to power the cunning RSS. Now, when they criticize you, they are ‘bad people’ to you. Tomorrow the entire country would be bad for you!!!
