'Namaz' conspiracy starts in Gujarat too! Students offer namaz in Vadodara's MSU campus, spark row

It seems like after Grurugram and Karnataka the Namaz row has been started in Gujarat too. In the latest development, some Muslim students of Vadodara's Maharaja Sayajirao University were seen offering Namaz outside the Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya at the University premises.

 

 

The matter come to light after the video of the incident went viral on social media. As per the reports, students studying at the Commerce Department of the University were offering namaz at the university premises.

 

 

 

Apart from the students, a Muslim couple who is said to be to be parents or guardians of students at the University were also found offering Namaz outside the 'Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya' just two days before the latest incident.

 

It is being said that the couple belonged to some other district and was accompanying their son/ daughter who was supposed to appear in the CCC exam held on December 24 at another building near the Mahavidyalaya.

  

 

 

Upon learning about the incident, a varsity vigilance team rushed to the spot and called in police to maintain law and order, as exams were going on in the building, said MS University's Public Relations Officer, Lakulish Trivedi, said.

 

"Both were students of the second year B.Com. They offered namaz before going inside the building for exams. Since their exams are going on, the university administration will call them for counselling in the coming days to make them understand this is an educational institution and they should refrain from doing such activities on the campus," he said. 

 

 

Taking cognizance of the matter some Hindu organisations took objection to the issue and started reciting Hanuman Chalisa at the premises in retaliation. They also went to the Vice Chancellor’s office and raised slogans demanding a probe into the matter.

 

 

Moreover, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad has also filed a complaint in that matter and demanded strict action from the University.
