Forty newly-appointed teachers were sent for Yoga training at Matoshri Upasna Vidyapith at Kharodi (Mumbai) by the Municipal Education department. Out of 40, 12 were Muslim teachers who were shown a Video CD during camp.
The CD contained extremely objectionable remarks about Islam. Later when they asked for permission to go out for Friday namaaz, the person-in-charge handed them over a form and asked to give an undertaking that they will not perform namaaz or any other Islamic prayer during their stay at the camp.
Astonished, the teachers spoke to higher officials and questioned the link between Yoga and anti-Muslim propaganda or not letting them go for namaaz. The senior officials called back the Muslim teachers from the camp the same evening. Later the issue rocked the Mumbai Municipal Corporation’s education wing meet.
The secretary of Education Committee Mohan Kandalgaonkar brought up the issue. He alleged that had the Muslim teachers created a scene there, they would have been labelled militants. The Deputy Municipal Commissioner Nande and other officials later apologised and it was unanimously agreed upon that in future Muslim teachers would not be sent on such camps unless officials hold talks with the organisers of the camp.
Though the issue was resolved later but the question arises that how those at the Yoga training class decided to stop Muslims from prayers in this democratic country. And it was when the group had a dozen Muslims and the entire episode occured in Mumbai, not in a faraway town.

Anti-Muslim Modi: Police cheifs
Two senior police officers posted in Gujarat during the 2002 anti-Muslim riots have submitted to the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) the details of strong “anti-Muslim bias” in the state government.
In their affidavits, R.B. Sreekumar, a former additional director general of police (ADGP) who was in-charge of the state Intelligence Bureau during the riots, and Rahul Sharma, the then Bhavnagar Superintendent of Police, questioned the impartiality of the administration.
The SIT on Thursday submitted to the SC its report on the status of probe in the 10 major riots cases it is re-investigating.
“The Chief Minister summoned me to his chamber on May 7, 2002, and instructed me not to concentrate on Sangh Parivar, as its members were not doing anything illegal. He asked me to concentrate on Muslim militants, and get data on Amanpath, suspected to be a Muslim group,” Sreekumar said in his affidavit. Narendra Modi was the CM then.
The government refused to respond to Sreekumar’s allegation. “Such absurd statements do not merit a response. He is anyway a biased officer who joined Teesta Setalwad's organisation after retirement,” said a senior official, who didn’t wish to be identified.
“K.P.S. Gill, the adviser to the Chief Minister, had told state police chief K. Chakravarthy not to reform the politicians — meaning thereby, not to take any action against the VHP and Bajrang Dal. The adviser also wanted the police to vacate the riot victims living in the relief camps, exhibiting a clear anti-Muslim bias,” Sreekumar said in his affidavit.
Sreekumar told HT he was willing to be cross-examined. “Why are they not cross-examining me on… what I have stated on oath in the affidavits," he said, hinting at more damning facts against the government.
Sharma, who is a Deputy Inspector General, CBI, in Mumbai, said: "Minister of State for Home Gordhan Zadaphia had contacted me and said the ratio of deaths as a result of police firing was not proper. What I understood was that, he was complaining about more number of deaths of Hindus as compared to Muslims in Bhavnagar city."
In his affidavit, Sharma said a large part of the police records related to riots had been destroyed and “it was on my own conscience that I managed to submit to the investigating agencies what I could protect”.
Interestingly, Sreekumar and Sharma both faced the wrath of the Modi government for not toeing the “official line”. Sreekumar, who retired in February, was chargesheeted in 2005, for leaking intelligence reports. Last year, the Ahmedabad bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal quashed the government order and directed payment of all dues to him and slammed the government for denying him a promotion.
Sharma was shunted out of Bhavnagar within days of his talk with Zadaphia to an insignificant position in the Ahmedabad Control Room.

Ram Sene's Moral Policing Justified?
In a Democracy, can somebody come and dictate what you should do and what you should not? Just imagine the day when you would be beaten up for watching an English movie in the name of culture and tradition.
Are these Sri Ram Sena terrorists fit enough to act like moral polices and dictate public what they should wear and what they should not.. what they should do and what they should not? Peep into their personal lives and u will find that these guys themselves are biggest blunders to their families. the leader himself is a school drop out. they break Indian traditions and Hindu rules on a number of occasions and yet they catch a stick in hand and order other people to follow as they say? They are not police and its none of their business to snatch other person's rights in the name of religion. If they really respected Indian culture, then would they raise their hands on an Indian woman?
why are Hindu youngsters not reacting? u always ask us about Muslim terrorists, why are u silent when terrorists are using religion's name?
Ram Sene List of Rules :
1. Girls should not wear jeans and T shirts
2. No valentines day
3. Girls should stay at home after 7pm and make chapatis (this is what Muthalik told in an interview)
4. Hindu girls must not talk to Muslim boys but Hindu guys can talk and make love with Muslim girls
5. Show your anger on Muslims whenever u can to keep them under control.
These rules are for now. for more rules, plz wait and see, there is a very big list coming for sure.
By the way, why should we pay our taxes to the government? why not pay our taxes to Sri Rma Sene and Bhajrangdal and ask them to take care of us? may be in that way we would be safer. shame on our polititians and impotent governments. Will no one save the citizens of India? Congress will do nothing but sit and watch as always. BJP will pamper these hindutva terrorists because it fears the loss of hardcore hindu votes.
WHY ARE HINDU GUYS DATING MUSLIM GIRLS NOT ATTACKED?
Why are these fanatics not attacking Hindu guys who date and flirt with Muslim girls? Do they mean to say that Men can do whatever they want and women can not? Do they mean to imply that women are a sex item of 'their' community and other community using their tool is considered as offense by them?
Recently a 15 year old girl was harassed by Hindutva brigade when she was talking to a Muslim boy in Manglore. She and her friends were beaten and then handed over to cops. The cops made the guy write an letter of apology and insulted the girl's family. The girl could not bear the humiliation and commited suicide. You know what the worst of all is? The hindutva terrorists forced her father to lodge a complaint against Salim, the girl's friend, saying that he raped his daughter and caused the death of his daughter. How many of these guys who talk about Indian culture really live by it? How many of them do not drink and sleep with women in brothal houses or how many of them do you think do not have 'girl friends' and illegal affairs? How many of them wear dhoti kurta and above all, how many of them are well behaved and really 'Hindu' from inside?
