Revealed: How Muslim Politicians And Clerics Tried To Islamise Government Schools And Propagate Islam In Jharkhand

“It is shocking that many government schools even in Deoghar were forced to change their names and add the word ‘Urdu’ to them. They were forced to have Fridays as their weekly off and in many schools, rabid Islamist clerics were found to be distributing Islamic literature to school students,” senior BJP leader Om Narain Mishra told Swarajya.

In many of these schools, it was found that even Hindu children were being asked to pray with cupped palms facing upwards (instead of joining palms like Hindus do) as is the practice in Islam during their daily prayers in the morning assembly sessions.

What’s more, Islamist preachers are learnt to have been frequenting these government schools, distributing Islamic literature and even preaching Islam. These clerics, say BJP leaders, had started denigrating Hindu deities and practices and were learnt to be encouraging students to start following Islamic practices and rituals!

“Politicians belonging to the three ruling parties and Islamist clerics they patronised started implementing their sinister agenda soon after the JMM-led government came to power. And they have only got bolder. The government knew about this all along and turned a blind eye only because the targets of these Islamists are Hindus,” said Mishra.

“It seemed they were following a master plan to convert young boys and girls to Islam and spread Islamist and jihadi philosophy and practices. But these Islamists did not target schools which had a considerable number of Christian students. This exposes the malevolent agenda of these Muslim politicians and clerics who were carrying out their activities under the nose of the JMM-Congress-RJD government,”
