New Delhi, August 02, 2022 (PPI-OT):The Social Democratic Party of India has decried the demand of Hindutva elements including Prof Madhu Kishwar to ban the alleged “Jihadi Islamic” curriculum being taught at three universities, Jamia Millia Islamia, Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Hamdard.
In an open letter, Kishwar and other Hindutva-inspired intellectuals have underscored that the three varsities have “an anti-India/anti-national” course curriculum as part of the undergraduate and post graduate study programs in their Departments of Islamic Studies. They also alleged that the “never ending violent attacks” on Hindu society, culture and civilization are a direct outcome of such teachings.
Reacting to the same, SDPI national secretary Faisal Izzudheen said, “The imagined scenario-building reflects a clear bias and anti-Muslim and anti-democratic attitude.” He said that Prof Kishwar’s claims amount to labelling allegations against the Presidents of India as he is the visitors of central universities including Jamia Millia and Aligarh Muslim University.
