A Manipuri Muslim student body has banned a children's general knowledge book as it contained a picture of Prophet Mohammad. Stating that there is not a single record of the Prophet's picture in the entire world, the Pangal Students' Organization (PSO) said the writer should apologize within three days, failing which stern action would be taken.
PSO president Md Burhanuddin said the picture of the Prophet published in the book that is being taught in nursery classes is against Islam and a means to mislead the Muslim community of the state as well as the students. Hence, the PSO has resolved to ban the book, Burhanuddin said at a media conference in Imphal on Friday. [THE TIMES OF INDIA] Read more
