BJP Calls for Action Over Hyderabad School's Alleged Religious Homework IncidentPreviousNext

The BJP has criticized the Telangana Congress government following allegations that a private school in Hyderabad asked a Hindu student to recite Islamic verses as homework. BJP leaders, including spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy, condemned the incident as religious indoctrination and accused the state government of appeasement politics. They demanded strict action against the school, its management, and the teacher, who was reportedly removed. The Telangana BJP also labeled the event as part of a broader 'education jihad' trend, holding Chief Minister Revanth Reddy responsible.
