The right to education act will not interfere with madrasas, Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal asserted Sunday.

Replying to questions during a media interaction at the end of a function at the B.R. Ambedkar University here, Sibal said: "It is a misnomer that we have any intention of interfering with the madrasa education".

"We have no intention to impose any changes in the existing madrasa education in the country, unless the madrasas themselves seek certain changes," he said, adding even the proposed Central Madrasa Education Board was not intended to disturb the existing madrasa education in he country.

Sibal was here to inaugurate the women's hostel on the central government-run university campus.
