School sealed, manager arrested after ban on national anthem

August 8, 2016

Allahabad, Aug 8: Police has arrested the manager of a school here who refused to allow recital of national anthem on Independence Day, while authorities today began proceedings for sealing the school, which was allegedly running illegally, and stepped up security due to tension in the area.

schoolZia-ul Haq, manager of MA Convent School in Baghara locality, was booked under the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act and arrested, officials said.

A magisterial inquiry has been ordered to look into how the school was allowed to run for two decades without any clearance from authorities and the allegation against the manager, they said.

BJP had demanded action against the school while local units of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Hindu Yuva Vahini had on Sunday threatened to launch an agitation if the school was not shut down within 72 hours.

"Orders for sealing the school have been issued.

"The education department has been requested to arrange shifting of nearly 300 students enrolled there to some other school so that their studies do not suffer," officiating District Magistrate of Allahabad Andra Vamsee said.

An FIR was filed by the education department in the matter which came to light when eight of the school's teachers, including its principal, resigned last week after they were denied permission to hold recital of the national anthem during the upcoming Independence Day celebrations.

Haq had defended the move, claiming that the phrase 'Bharat Bhagya Vidhata' in the national anthem's opening stanza violated the basic tenets of Islam.

The DM said, "A magisterial probe has also been ordered to look into how the school was allowed to run for two decades without any clearance from authorities. Education department officials say that recently they had even sent a notice asking them to shut down the school which was being run illegally". "Moreover, the school's manager has reportedly said that he has never allowed recital of the national anthem ever since the school started.

"The investigation will also cover this issue and it would be probed as to whether there had been complaints in the past against the school on this count and if so what action was taken," he said.

Vamsee said that the manager was arrested when it was observed that "the controversy was creating some tension".

It could have resulted in animosity between members of different communities, he added.

Meanwhile, police and Provincial Armed Constabulary have been deployed in the vicinity of the school to prevent any untoward incident in the area, Additional SP (City) Rajesh Yadav said.

The Law of ALLAH is should be first preference... Why ! cos he created all that exists and we are his properties... Some people may ignorantly blame as anti national.. But the manager doesnt want to bow to anything except ALLAH...
Why should he bow down to bharth... does it give anything? it doesnt mean i dont love my country.. ofcourse prophet Muhammad pbuh said love your Place.
But many cheddis alwz complain of others when they themselves doing everything against the LaW of the country as well as Law of the CREATOR ...
A time will come where judgment will be given with JUSTICE by the best JUDGE ... that day CRIMINALS will never escape of their dirty POLITICS and DECEPTION>

Worship your CREATOR not his CREATION.

What has been done by the Manger is very wrong not acceptable.

But Don't forget that even RSS don't sing National Anthem even they had not accepted Tri_Colour Indian Flag.

Authorities have to book the manger, Sealing the school is not the solution, let students attend the classes and Teachers do their duties...

All my dear Hindu commentators.
It is very appreciating you expressed your concerns. While commenting, please try to find out what is the reason which indeed prevents them not singing the Jana gana...

There is one main reason, all Muslims and Non-Muslims should understand about a Fundamental point of Islamic teaching.

If there is any teaching which has the most important that is only 1 point. This point has been preached in 1/3 rd of Hold Quran. And the same teaching is in Hadees the book of prophets message.

What is that main message. Perhaps even many Muslims don't know it well.

Please note it is called attributing any qualities or anything to God's quality. That is called against Oneness of God.

Again rewriting the above statement in other way, wholeheartedly accepting, proclaiming that

'There is only 1 God and no other God, nor anything has the quality of God. ' There is only 1 God, no other God, no any power that equates to that 1 and only God.
In contrary if anybody does worship other than that God, or think anything is there having the power OR quality of that God, then that person is committing a grave and UNFORGIVABLE SIN.

This is the biggest and unforgivable sin. This sin can ruin all good deeds of their life for this easy and grave mistake.

Therefore every Muslim should be careful of committing this mistake.
Now coming to our National anthem, the author has escalated the some portion of the anthem, Bharatha to the quality of God.
The intention of Thagorji might have written in good intention. However Muslims are definitely not against him, but the meaning does not allow them to proclaim that sentence.
The same type has been written in VANDE MATARAM SONG.

My dear all Non-Muslims brothers and sisters this is for your clarification and for your knowledge.

Your true well wisher and patriot Indian Muslim.

Riyadh, Apr 22: In an extraordinary initiative, the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has decided to facilitate the travel of expatriates who have an exit and reentry visa or final exit visa to return to their countries.

This is in line with the order of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, according to the Saudi Press Agency.

According to the initiative, called “Auda” (return), expatriates can apply seeking permission for travel to their countries through the Absher portal of the ministry.

Announcing this, Saudi's Ministry of Interior said that the initiative will be implemented in cooperation with a number of relevant government agencies.

Requests for travel from expatriates will be received and approved in coordination with the relevant authorities to complete their travel procedures on board international flights.

As per the initiative, a text message will be sent to the beneficiary stating the travel date, ticket number and reservation details, and by which the beneficiary can obtain his travel ticket and complete the travel procedures.

Clarifying the procedures for the travel, the ministry said that the applicant shall select the icon (Auda) after visiting the Absher portal and fill the following fields: iqama (residency permit) number, date of birth, mobile number, departure city and airport of arrival.

It is not mandatory for the expatriate to have his own Absher account for availing of the service, the ministry said, adding that this facility is to enable expatriates to benefit from this initiative.

The departure will be through the following airports: King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, Prince Muhammad International Airport in Madinah, and King Fahd International Airport in Dammam.

Those expatriates who are outside these cities can benefit from the service through entering airport of departure after completion of their travel procedures in sufficient period of time.

Udupi, June 30: A girl who appeared for SSLC exams in three subjects tested positive for COVID-19 in Kundapur taluk of Udupi district today.

Sheshashayana Karinja, Deputy Director of Public Instruction (DDPI) said that the 15-year-old girl had a headache and her parents took her for testing and she had tested positive for COVID-19.

She will appear for the remaining three subjects during the supplementary exams in August.

The room where the girl appeared for the exam had been sanitised. But exams would not be held in that room. All precautions have been taken in that exam centre in Kundapur taluk, Mr. Karinja said.

The other 19 students will be allowed to write their exams as there was a distance of one metre between them and there was no contact between the students during the exams, Mr. Karinja added.

It is learned that a couple of months ago, a Mumbai returnee who recovered from COVID-19 had visited the girl’s house. However, it is not clear that she got an infection from the Mumbai returnee.

It could be recalled here that a student from Hejamadi in Udupi district who was preparing for the Science exam had tested positive two days back and she is currently being treated at a hospital.
