A school in Madhya Pradesh's Damoh has run into controversy for allegedly forcing students, who are not Muslims, to sing Urdu poet Allama Iqbal's penned verses.
Ganga Jamuna Higher Secondary School already faces a probe for allegedly making non-Muslim girl students wear the 'hijab'.
Raising the issue at a Ladli Bahna Yojana-related event on Friday in Chattarpur district, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said such practice will not be allowed.
"It's yesterday only that I came to know about daughters being forced to cover with their heads at a school, which was also teaching the poem of the man who got the country partitioned," Mr Chouhan said.
