SRINAGAR: Expressing serious concern over the reports of school children forced to sing Hindu hymns, CPI(M) Secretary Ghulam Nabi Malik has said that it has exposed the BJP government’s agenda of saffornisation of education.
He said that a video is making rounds on social media, in which school staff is seen asking students in a class to sing the famous hymn ‘Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram’ in a government school of Kulgam area.
“The rituals and beliefs of a particular caste or faith cannot be imposed on the education system of a secular nation. Such activities can prove detrimental to harmonious educational atmosphere,” said CPI(M) Secretary Ghulam Nabi Malik in a statement.
