Opposed the Government’s decision to give holiday on Sunday instead of Friday

Ranchi (Jharkhand) – Even after Jharkhand Education Minister Jagarnath Mahato ordered all schools in the State to give holiday on Sunday, but in some Muslim-majority areas of Palamu District they defied.

Editorial Viewpoints

  • Is Jharkhand in India or Pakistan ?
  • From this, it is seen that rebellious religious fanatics do not obey the law, Government orders, etc. What action is the Government going to take on such defiance ?
  • Why is the secularist church not opposing those who are trying to Islamise the schools ? Or is it that they oppose only when the teaching of Hindu Dharma is implemented in schools ?
  • What is wrong if someone justifies the recently made statement by Union Minister Giriraj Singh, ‘giving a holiday on Friday means an attempt to implement Sharia law’ ?
