All India Muslim Personal Law Board has opposed the Centre’s directive to organize ‘Surya Namaskar’ program in schools between January 1 and 7 in connection with the 75th anniversary of Independence Day.
In a statement issued by Maulana Khalid Saifulla Rahmani, general secretary of the Board, said ‘Surya Namaskar’ is a form of Surya puja and Islam does not permit it. He demanded the government to withdraw the proposed move and do not make Muslim boys and girls participate in such programs.
