Muslim students offering namaz inside the classroom

Solapur – A video released on 24th March from Solapur showed Muslim students offering namaz inside the classroom of the Government polytechnic. During Ramazan, on 21st and 22nd March, these students offered namaz inside the college. Despite other students’ complaints, the college administration has not taken any action. “It is a serious issue that they have now started offering namaz inside the college premises without permission,” said other students.

Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) opposes

The Muslim students initially requested early leave from the college for Ramazan prayers, which was denied due to institutional rules. Consequently, they performed namaz in the classroom. Other college students, along with members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and ABVP, raised their voice against this incident. They warned that if namaz offering is not stopped, Hindu students would also start religious activities in the classroom. Yet, the officials have not taken any action.

Editorial Perspectives

  • Such incidents occur because it is known that no action is taken against offering namaz anywhere. If such incidents are to be stopped, the Police must start taking strict action.
  • Please note that those who vehemently oppose the display of Deity Saraswati’s picture in classrooms, do not utter a word against those offering namaz in the classroom.
