Kishtwar June 27: Merely five days after issuing directions to Chief Education Officer Kishtwar to issue circular with regard to necessitating of National Anthem in Schools during morning prayers across Kishtwar District, Deputy Commissioner Kishtwar today backtracked from his previous stand that he has issued any directions in this regard. The backtracking in the stand of DC comes in the aftermath of his meeting with the deputation of Muslim community today.
As per details available with "Early Times", a deputation of Muslim community led by chief cleric Jamia Masjid Kishtwar Moulana Farooq Kichloo called on DC Kishtwar Mohammad Javed Khan at his office chamber and showed his resentment towards him over the issue of directions to all the institutions necessitating singing of National Anthem in morning prayers and termed it anti-Islam. Moulana Farooq Kichloo informed DC Kishtwar that there is great resentment among the representatives of Muslim community over the direction issued by administration as many stanza's in National Anthem are prohibited in Islam, added that no student from Muslim community will recite the National Anthem or any other activity which is prohibited in Islam.
Reacting to the anger and concern of Muslim community, DC Kishtwar informed the visiting deputation that he had issued no directions in this regard which is contrary to his stand taken by DC Kishtwar during his meeting with ABVP representatives on 22-06-2015 at his office chamber followed by the circular No. CEO/K/2015/6515-75 dated 23-06-2015 wherein Chief Education Officer Kishtwar issued the circular with regard to introduction of prayer, National Anthem and Physical Training in morning assemblies of the schools.
