The Dev Bhoomi Sangharsh Samiti termed the directions as against the principle of secularism

A private school in Shimla Monday withdrew its decision asking students to dress-up and bring food for Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations after a local right-wing organisation, Dev Bhoomi Sangharsh Samiti, warned to hold protests outside the educational institution.

The Auckland House School had issued the directions to the students for March 28, the last Friday before the Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations.

The Dev Bhoomi Sangharsh Samiti termed the directions as against the principle of secularism and warned to “gherao” the school and take legal action against it if the decision was not withdrawn.
