Bhuj/Hyderabad, June 30 (Maxim News): The district Education Officer (DEO) in Gujarat’s Bhuj has taken up the investigation into an incident where Hindu students at Pearl School in Mundra, Kutch district were allegedly asked to perform namaz.
The DEO took up the matter and formed a team to probe the incident, stating that if found guilty, the school could face severe consequences, including approval cancellation.
The incident came to light through a video circulating on social media, which showed Hindu students at Pearl School being instructed to wear skull caps and offer Namaz as part of the Bakrid activities.
Priti Vaghwani, the school principal, claimed that the namaz session held on June 28 was a part of the school’s activities. She also issued an apology if the sentiments of anyone were hurt.
However, local legislator Aniruddh Dave expressed concern over such activity, stating that while activities like swimming, horse riding, or musical performances could be included, Namaz should not be part of the school curriculum.
Dave has urged the DEO to take appropriate action in the matter. He also mentioned that the school had a holiday on the day of the incident, yet the students were called and asked to offer namaz while dressed as Muslims.
In another incident, a school in North Gujarat, Kids Kingdom School on Radhanpur Road in Mahesana, faced protests from locals, parents, and Hindu organizations for ordering Hindu children to participate in Bakrid Eid celebrations. (Maxim News)
