Yoga will be part of school curriculum: MP CM
BHOPAL: A day after the United Nations General Assembly accepted PM Narendra Modi's proposal and declared June 21 as International Yoga Day, Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Fridayannounced yoga would be included as an integral part of the school curriculum in the state. As the House assembled for the last day of the winter session, Chouhan said it was a matter of pride for the country that the PM's proposal had been accepted by the UN in less than 90 days. "MP govt will soon introduce yoga as part of school curriculum from the next academic session," he said.This won't be the first time the govt will be initiating the procedure to include yoga in the curriculum. Since 2007, Madhya Pradesh has been observing Yoga Day in January wherein schoolchildren, govt officials, ministers and the CM publicly participate in a state-wide pranayam and surya namaskar exercise.However, the govt had had to backtrack on its decision each time since the announcements drew flak from Muslim and Christian communities, which contended the ruling BJP was promoting its saffron agenda and advancing Hindu rituals in educational institutions.

Meerut: The head of Dharam Jagran Samiti, a western UP-based Hindutva group, Rajeshwar Singh, said on Friday that the "biggest-ever" conversion camp to be held in Aligarh on Dec.25 would be held at "any cost." His assertion comes even as Avdhesh Tiwari, ADM, Aligarh city, denied getting any application from the right-wing group for permission to organise the programme. Meanwhile, several organisations in Aligarh termed the "ghar vapsi" programme an attempt to "disturb" communal harmony in the city, which is just recovering from the controversy of BJP forcibly trying to organise the birth anniversary of Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh on the AMU campus. Singh earlier announced that 4,000 persons, including 2,000 Muslims, from different parts of western UP, would "reconvert" to Hinduism in a programme likely to be held on Christmas."We would not let the 'ghar vapsi' programme be affected by anybody. It doesn't matter if we don't get the permission of the local administration to organise it, because we will go ahead with our plan at any cost. If the need arises, I will organise the event on private farms," Singh told The Hindu over phone. Jasim Mohammad of the Millat Bedari Muhim said over phone that the camp would only make city "vulnerable" to communal disturbances. the hindu

New Delhi: Yogi Adityanath, the fire brand BJP MP from Gorakhpur, on Thursday confirmed his visit on Dec.25 to Aligarh for an event that aims to convert 5,000 Muslims and 1,000 Christians at the local Maheshwari College.

The event will happen as scheduled and I will be there."He added, "When Hindus convert to Islam or to Christianity, nobody comes in for a check. Why is this being done when they want to convert back to Hinduism? There are many other issues that the administration and media should concentrate on rather than this. Muslims in Agra had also written a letter asking for a mandir. The situation went out of control because of the interference of media, administration and sundry religious leaders."Christian and Muslim groups reacted with anger and caution. TOI

Raichur: Condemning the alleged forced conversions under way in Agra, UP, the Minority Morcha of the BJP has demanded that the Union govt impose a ban on the Hindu Jagran Vedike that is said to be involved in those conversions. State vice-president of the morcha Amenuddin said that the right wing Hindu outfit was defying the Constitution by "forcibly converting" people of other religious faith to Hinduism."One's right to follow any religious faith one wishes to is guaranteed in the Constitution.

Christian convention stopped in MP's Ratlam by Hindu outfit, accusing conversions of tribals, police deny allegations
Bhopal: A Pentecostal convention in Ratlam came to an abrupt endFriday after a group of right-wing activists brought the administration and police to the venue after accusing the organisers of converting tribals by offering money and other allurements. Hindu Jagran Manch (HJM) activists alleged that illiterate tribals from Bajna and Sailana were brought to a venue on Power House Road in Ratlam town with a promise to cure their ailments and promised jobs and money. Called Changai Sabha', the meet was organised by the local body and addressed by preachers from Kerala and Bhopal. HJM said the organisers had arranged for food and accommodation of the tribals and told the potential converts that only Christianity can ensure salvation, not their old religion. CSP PS Ranawat said that no evidence about the alleged conversions, forced or otherwise, was found in the initial probe by the police. He said the police had spoken to a few tribals but none confirmed the allegation. He said the police could not take statements of the organisers because there was tension in the air. indian express

Madhupur: 4 members of the Muslim wing of RSS were detained by the Returning Officer of Madhupur constituency for allegedly possessing inflammatory literature, which blamed Congress for most of the riots in the country. The controversial booklets titled Congress Ka Benaqaab Chehra alleged that more riots happened under the Congress's watch than in BJP rule. Each booklet has 20 pages — 10 each in Hindi and Urdu — which is written by one of the detained members Maulana Mazhar Imam Qadri, but it does not mention the name of the publisher. The members of Muslim Rashtriya Manch, all from North Dinajpur in West Bengal, were detained on December 8, but they were later let-off on personal guarantee of local BJP leaders. Returning Officer Nand Kishore Lal, however, is pushing for imposition of stricter charges."Maulana Mazhar Qadri, who says he wrote the booklet, told us that he campaigned in UP during the Lok Sabha elections with it. He revealed that his team reaches a spot two-three days ahead of BJP president Amit Shah holding a meeting to distribute the booklets and interacts with community members," Lal said. The literature mostly talks about the Operation Polo, the code name of the Hyderabad "Police Action" in September 1948 when military forced its Nizam to annex the state in the Indian Union. It mentioned alleged atrocities on Muslims during that period. The booklet also accused Assam CM Tarun Gogoi of working against the community. indian express
