Hyderabad: In another incident highlighting concerns over religious intolerance in Modi\u2019s India, members of a Hindutva organization led by BJP corporator Akula Srivani harassed and threatened a Muslim teacher at a school in Hyderabad, the capital of the Indian state of Telangana.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, Srivani and Hindu Vahini members entered the principal\u2019s office at Sagarika Integrated High School in Sri Venkateshwara Colony, alleging that a teacher had asked students to remove rakhis tied around their wrists. Srivani also alleged that the students were being told things against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and India\u2019s economic growth.<\/p>\n
The teacher reportedly explained that the rakhis had become dirty and that she had therefore asked the students to remove them. When she denied Srivani\u2019s other allegations, the BJP corporator raised her voice and questioned her, saying, \u201cYou wear your hijab throughout the year. Has anyone opposed or questioned you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Later, while speaking outside the school, Srivani urged parents to remain vigilant about what was being taught to their children.<\/p>\n
Police registered a case against Srivani under Sections 196 and 299 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which relate to offences including promoting enmity between groups and hurting religious sentiments.<\/p>\n
Responding to the FIR, Srivani questioned the police action, saying, \u201cWhat crimes have I committed for the police to justify registering non-bailable cases against me?\u201d<\/p>\n
AIMIM youth leader Mohammed Imran Ahmed criticized Srivani\u2019s conduct, saying, \u201cParents should watch what schools teach. They should also watch elected representatives walking into a private school with a crowd, raising their voice at a teacher, and turning a hygiene issue into \u2018educational jihad.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Ahmed further said, \u201cYou wear saffron and claim no one should question a child\u2019s faith. Then do not single out a teacher\u2019s hijab in the same breath. That is the same logic you say you oppose.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf classrooms are being used for political or religious propaganda\u2014against any community or any party\u2014that should be investigated on evidence, not slogans,\u201d he said.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
