Register a case under the anti-superstition law : Hindu Janajagruti Samiti demands action

  • Vasai ‘Holy Family’ School Jesus miracle play controversy

  • Claim of a conspiracy to promote religious conversion by spreading superstition !

Mumbai – At the annual gathering held on 31 December at Holy Family Convent School in Vasai East, Palghar district, students staged a dramatic performance depicting so-called miracles, such as a blind person regaining sight and a lame person walking through the touch of Jesus. A video of this performance has gone viral on social media. Through this medium, false miracles are being planted in the impressionable minds of Hindu children, amounting to a divisive conspiracy aimed at religious conversion. Education should awaken rational thinking; it should not promote miracles or superstition. The administration must take immediate action in this matter, demanded Sunil Ghanwat, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh State Organiser of the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, through a press release.

The Hindu Janajagruti Samiti has submitted an immediate complaint in this regard to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Vasai–Virar, the Manikpur Police Inspector and the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone 2. Copies of this representation have also been submitted to the Chief Minister, the Education Minister and the District Collector. At the time of submitting the memorandum, Vilas Nikam, Prashant Patil, Atul Mehta, Sandeep Tulsakar and Jamkar from the Samiti were present.

In this context, the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti has also demanded an inquiry into the school administration, suspension of the Education Officer and the Headmaster, registration of a criminal case, and issuance of clear guidelines for all schools.

In the complaint submitted by the Samiti, it has been stated that the seriousness of the issue is evident from the video link ‘https:/youtu.be/0Qp2Q7Yv7ik’. This unscientific display is punishable under Section 3 of the Maharashtra Anti-Superstition and Black Magic Prevention Act, 2013, which includes the propagation of so-called miracles. By spreading superstition in a school, unscientific beliefs are being imposed on the tender minds of children, adversely affecting their mental development. Through false miracles, an attempt is being made to exert influence within the educational environment. This clearly reveals a major conspiracy to promote religious conversion by creating a false image of Jesus in the minds of students.

Editorial Perspective

By allowing such performances, schools meant to foster scientific temper and rational thinking are becoming platforms for superstition and indirect religious propaganda, which poses a serious threat to the integrity of education and social harmony.
