Hindu right-wing activists staged a protest on Tuesday and the Gujarat government ordered a probe after Hindu students were allegedly asked to perform namaz as part of an awareness program at a private school here.
Videos of the protest showed a teacher being beaten up. The state government ordered an inquiry into the program organised at Kalorex Future School, located in Ghatlodia area of the city, on September 29.
The intention behind organizing the program in question was only to make students aware of the practices of different religions and no student was forced to perform the Islamic prayer, the school said, while also tendering an apology.
