The Madhya Pradesh unit of the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has condemned the ‘Shastra Poojan’ (worship of weapons) by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and some academic institutions in the state on Dusshera.
Jamaat spokesmen,Anwar Safi in a statement,said that this was not the first time when the BJP government was promoting the agenda of the RSS.
Anwar said the state government had already created controversies by introducing Surya Namaskar,Vande Mataram and ‘Bhojan Mantras’ in schools since it came to power.
He said that while the RSS had claimed all these practices as religious,Education minister Archana Chitnis maintained that it was a social tradition.
A vast Hindu population disliked the RSS-BJP agenda as it “disturbs” social fabric,he claimed.
Chouhan had performed a ‘Shastra Poojan’ on September 28,on the occasion of Dusshera,in the CM house. A couple of educational institutions,including RSS-run Saraswati Shishu Mandir,too performed a similar pooja on their premises.
