The Gujarat Government on Tuesday ordered an investigation after students in a private school in Ahmedabad were asked to “perform” namaz as part of practices of all religions.
Activists of various Hindu right-wing groups held a protest and a teacher was beaten up in the school located in Ghatlodia, which is Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel’s Assembly constituency in Ahmedabad.
Following these incidents, the school management first apologised and then explained that no student was forced to perform the namaz and the activity was part of the exercise to make the students aware of forms of prayers of different religions.
