Madhya Pradesh School Education Minister Inder Singh Parmar said it had emerged that some teachers of the Damoh school — its recognition was suspended last week following allegations of non-Muslim students wearing hijab and reciting Muhammad Iqbal’s ‘Lab pe dua’ — had changed their religion. He even expressed the possibility of links between the school management and terrorists.
“If any faith other than their own is imposed on minor children who go to an institution and cannot make their own decisions, then the role of the school is suspicious. Now it’s coming to light that teachers have also done it [conversion]... I understand that if adults are also being converted there. It means that religious conversion activities are also being conducted there. It becomes clear,” he said.
“And this is why I say that in the name of school, there were not only religious conversion activities, it is also possible that they have links to terrorists,” he said, adding that the persons running the school had a beedi making business.
