Muslims against yoga in schools Bhopal, Jan. 22: Challenging the Madhya Pradesh government's move to hold "suryanamaskar" or yogic exercise in schools, Muslim representatives on Monday approached the high court and also sought Governor Balram Jakhar's intervention. "Jamiat-Ulema-e-Hind has filed a PIL in the high court seeking a stay on suryanamaskar scheduled to be held on January 25. It is expected to be heard tomorrow," Mohd Haroon, executive committee member of the organisation told PTI from Jabalpur. The court was approached after pleas before chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and other authorities failed to yield results, he said, adding the move to "force students of all religions to perform suryanamaskar is unconstitutional and against Islam". Meanwhile, a group of Muslim representatives, led by state convenor of All India Muslim Personal Law Board Shamsuddin Afridi, submitted a memorandum to the governor and sought his intervention in preventing the event. The government had planned to organise the programme across the state, wherein children will carry out suryanamaskar and five pranayam exercises.
