The  School manager of the Florets International school in kanpur has been booked after a parent lodged a complaint about children being made to recite the 'kalma' during morning assembly.

Following the complaint,  In accordance with the Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act of 2021 and Section 295-A of the Indian Penal Code (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feeling of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs), a case against school manager Sumit Makhija has been filed at the Sisamau police station, said ACP Sisamau Nishank Sharma. According to the FIR, the school has been making an effort to teach the students about conversions, and as a result, there have been some behavioral changes among the kids.

The complaint further says that the students were forced to recite 'kalma' inside the school premises and demanded to seal the building completely. The complainant also sought reimbursement of fees and re-admissions to other schools accordingly.

According to the police, they were alerted by a tweet that alleged that the school in Sisamau in the city was making students recite Islamic prayers during morning prayers.

A joint team of officials from the district administration and police visited the school after the incident and met the authorities, who informed them that their students have been reciting prayers of four religions for the last several years and no parent had objected to it. However, right-wing activists made it an issue and staged a demonstration outside the school on Monday.
