Mangalore Today News Network

Mangalore, Oct 5, 2013 : The State unit of the Student Islamic Organisation of India  staged a protest in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Mangalore on October 4, Friday  urging the government to issue a circular to all schools  against taking up those lessons which have some communal aspects included in them.

 

The Organisation has also urged the government to withdraw all those  text books which have been ‘communalized.’

 Addressing the protestors Abdul Khader Kukkila, Editor of Sanmarga Weekly,  said such attempts to communalize the school curriculum will have an irreversible impact on young minds by sowing seeds of communal hatred in them.

He regretted the fact that despite an assurance to withdraw the text books concerned, no concrete measures have been taken in that direction.

SIO  President Abdul Latif Alia, GIO President Umera, Secretaries Irfan, Talha and others participated in the protest.
