Cyber Crime complaint alleges religious defamation and violation of government orders, authorities urged to probe online content and take strict action

Bengaluru: A controversy has erupted in Bengaluru after the Ahinda Forum filed a complaint alleging anti-Hindu teachings at the Jamia Muhammadiya Mansoor Educational Institution located in Thanisandra.

The complaint, submitted to the Cyber Crime Division, seeks strict action against those responsible, claiming that certain statements made during classroom sessions have hurt religious sentiments and violated official directives.

Allegations of Religious Defamation in Classroom Teaching

N. Revanna, Vice President of the Karnataka State Ahinda Organisation Forum and father of a student at the institution, has alleged that videos circulating on YouTube contain objectionable content delivered during classroom instruction.

According to the complaint, certain religious leaders allegedly made remarks suggesting that Hindus are not native to India, which the complainant claims is divisive and misleading.

The complaint alleges statements describing Hindus as “migrants” and “intruders,” which, according to the complainant, are harmful and inappropriate for an educational environment.

Claims of Hurting Religious Sentiments

The complaint further accuses individuals at the institution of disrespecting Hindu beliefs, including references to Lord Shri Rama, and allegedly making provocative remarks regarding “Ram Rajya.”

The complainant has urged authorities to verify the authenticity of the videos and take immediate legal action against those found responsible.

Previous Complaint and Official Notice Issued

This is not the first instance of such allegations. Earlier, a complaint was reportedly filed by Abdul Raheem at the Kothanur Police Station regarding similar issues.

Following that, the Deputy Director of the School Education Department, Bengaluru South district, had issued a notice directing the institution to refrain from such activities on campus.

Call for Strict Action Over Alleged Violations

The latest complaint claims that despite prior warnings, the alleged activities have continued, prompting demands for strict enforcement of government orders and accountability.

Authorities have not yet issued an official statement on the matter, and an investigation is expected to determine the veracity of the allegations and the appropriate course of action.

Sensitive Issue, Probe Awaited

The case highlights the sensitive nature of religious discourse in educational spaces, with calls for maintaining neutrality, factual teaching, and communal harmony.

Officials are likely to examine both offline teaching practices and online content as part of the investigation.
