Strict action demanded for gross violation of educational regulations
Hyderabad, Telangana – Following the massive outrage over Hindu students being taught Urdu and the Islamic ‘Kalma’ at Bharat Chandra Vidyalaya in Perkit village, Armoor, Nizamabad, the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) has officially escalated the matter to the state government.
Shri. Chetan Gadi, HJS State Coordinator for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, submitted a formal memorandum to the Director of the Department of School Education, Government of Telangana, on 30 June 2026, demanding immediate and stringent action against the errant school management.
Key demands raised by HJS in the memorandum:
- Revoke school recognition: The Samiti has strongly urged the Education Department to immediately cancel the recognition and operational permissions of the school for gross violation of government regulations.
- High-level investigation: HJS has demanded a thorough, high-level probe to investigate if there is an organised layout or systemic conspiracy behind introducing religious teachings to students of other faiths without parental consent.
- Action on preliminary findings: Highlighting that the joint inquiry by the Revenue Inspector and Mandal Education Officer (MEO) has already established a violation of rules, HJS insisted on severe lawful penalties against the school administration.
HJS has requested a formal, written update from the Education Department regarding the subsequent actions taken on this matter to restore the faith of parents in the state’s educational system.

Hindus protest; BJP Leader among 20 booked for assault on School Principal
Nizamabad, Telangana — A major controversy has broken out at a private school in Armoor, Nizamabad district, over Hindu students allegedly being taught Urdu and the Islamic ‘kalma’. Police have booked the school’s correspondent, principal, and the Urdu teacher on charges of inciting religious tension between different communities. On the other hand, around 20 people, including a local BJP leader, have also been booked for allegedly entering the school premises and assaulting staff members.
The incident took place on 27 June at Bharat Chandra Vidyalaya. Some BJP workers and a few parents came to the school and alleged that Hindu students were being taught the Islamic ‘Kalma’ during the Urdu class, which triggered a huge commotion on the campus.

Principal tries to justify move; cites lack of separate classroom
The school principal, Aamer Khan, attempted to justify the matter by claiming that some Muslim parents had requested Urdu classes for their children, following which an Urdu teacher was appointed for the new academic session. Since construction work was going on at the school, extra classrooms weren’t available, so the Urdu classes were conducted in the same room used by students of other faiths as well, which is how some Hindu students ended up copying Urdu letters into their notebooks. He denied that namaz was taught, insisting only the basic Urdu alphabets were being taught, with no religious rituals involved.
The principal alleged that when the complaint was being lodged, local BJP leader Vandula Balu arrived with his supporters and assaulted him. He also alleged that the police made him sit on the floor of his own office for a long time.
