Islamic school of conversion! People throw ink on Damoh’s Education Officer for shielding Ganga Jamuna school in hijab controversy in MP

Amid ongoing controversy over the Ganga Jamuna school, now several Hindu activists and BJP workers threw ink on District Education Officer SK Mishra for allegedly shielding and giving clean chit to the Ganga Jamuna school. The video of the incident is making rounds on social media.

 

Apart from giving clean chit, the DM also dismissed the assertions after a probe, claiming that they were simply rumours and that there was nothing untoward discovered during the first inquiries.

 

 

 

According to the Nai Duniya report, BJP leader Amit Bajaj and Monty Raikwar threw ink on the officer while the latter was leaving his office in a car. The BJP workers protested saying that the Officer had taken money from the school and had made an attempt to close the case.

 

 

 

BJP leader Amit Bajaj, while talking to media, said that the officer had caused insult to the sentiments of Hindus. “He took money from the school and tried to close this controversial matter. He has always shielded such matters,” he alleged.

 

 

It should be noted that last week a controversy erupted in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh when Hindu and Jain girls were seen wearing hijabs on the posters of meritorious students from a private school named Ganga Jamuna School. The school administrator Haji Mohammad Idris then tried to mislead the matter calming that the students were wearing scarves and not hijabs.

 

According to several Hindu organizations that have been long protesting against the school, the pupils were taught as if the school was a Madrasa. Hindu girls were made to wear hijab and boys were instructed how to recite namaz. Several school photos of students uploaded by teachers on Facebook and Instagram also revealed that the females were donning the hijabs on sports day and not all of them doing so belonged to the Muslim community.

 

As per the report Children were forced to study Islam and were brutally beaten if they refuse to offer Namaz. They were also taught in Urdu/Arabic and the National anthem was BANNED in the school.

 

 

Taking cognizance of the matter, NCPCR’s Priyank Kanoongo issued a notice on May 31 to the District Magistrate (DM) demanding an action report in a week.

 

Meanwhile, the Madhya Pradesh government has derecognised the registration of Ganga Jamuna Higher Secondary School in Damoh. In its notification, the education department said the decision has been taken on the basis of the findings of a team which carried out an inspection of the school.
