Row over offering of namaz on MSU campus

A religious storm has erupted at Mumbai's Vadodara University after a couple of students were found offering namaz near the Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya. The issue was brought to the attention of the security personnel and the police, who advised the students against the act. A group of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal (BD) workers later reached the campus and chanted Hanuman Chalisa and Ram Dhun at the place. The group then also went to the university head office and made representations to the officials. The officials assured the group that they will look into the matter and counsel the students. When media persons sought a comment from BJP National General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya who was in the city, he said that "such things" should be avoided in an educational institute.
