A video of students offering prayers had gone viral on social media
The School Development and Monitoring Committee (SDMC) of a Government Higher Primary School in Dakshina Kannada district, which met on February 12 to discuss an incident of some students doing namaz in a classroom on February 11, decided not to allow a repeat of such incidents. The meeting also decided that no student should be sent out during school hours for offering prayers.
The meeting was held after a video clip of seven students from Class V, Class VI, and Class VII of the school, at Ankathadka in Kadaba taluk, doing namaz on Friday went viral on social media.
According to an official, parents of the seven students take them during the lunch break to a mosque nearby for afternoon namaz. On February 11, as the parents did not turn up at the school on time, these children did the namaz in the classroom, which was recorded on camera and posted on social media.
