School headmaster heckled for essay competition on Prophet in Karnataka
Mangalore Today News Network
Gadag, Sep 27, 2022: A headmaster of a government school in Karnataka’s Gadag was ’gheraoed’ by Sri Rama Sene, a right-wing outfit, activists after he asked children to write an essay on Prophet Muhammed. The state education department has ordered an inquiry after the headmaster was heckled by activists who barged into school premises.
The headmaster of a government school in Nagavi Taluk had organised an essay competition on Prophet, an event which was disrupted by right-wing activists.
Headmaster Abdul Hanif Bijapura had distributed free books about Prophet Muhammed titled ’Mohammed(s) Yelarigagi’ (Mohammed for all). He had also announced prize money of Rs 5,000 for children who excel in the essay competition.
But the Sri Rama Sene activists accused the teacher of trying to convert the students to Islam. They alleged that students were forced to learn about Muhammed, a topic which is not part of academics. The district education officer had warned the headmaster and promised the activists to take stringent action.
