Mumbai: After BJP corporator Yogita Koli demanded the Bhagwat Gita recitation in BMC schools, the Samajwadi Party leader in BMC Rais Shaikh has opposed it. In a strongly worded one page letter to BMC Mayor Kishori Pednekar, Shaikh asked her to reject the notice of Yogita Koli.
In a letter, Shaikh tried to bring the mayor’s attention to the fact that in the past it was decided in the meeting of group leaders that any proposal or notice related to religious education in the BMC schools should not be taken on record or part of agenda of the meeting.
Shaikh further questioned the timing of this notice moved by BJP. “It is nothing but the agenda of BJP to polarise the votes before the upcoming BMC election by making such controversy. Such notices should not be entertained by BMC and hence we have written to the mayor and not only registered our protest but have requested her to reject the notice moved by BJP,” said Rais Shaikh.
Highlighting the significance of Bhagvat Gita, BJP corporator Yogita Koli on Thursday demanded to recite it in the BMC schools. She met Mayor Kishori Pednekar on Thursday and said she would bring a resolution in this regard in the civic body’s upcoming general meeting.
In a letter written to the BMC Mayor, Yogita Koli said that Bhagvat Gita narrates intense Indian philosophy. “The Bhagavad Geeta is an ancient text on Indian philosophy. This book is also known as ‘Gitopanishad’ in the last composition of Vedas. It contains the teachings of Lord Krishna to Arjuna about life.”
On December 25, 5,000 years ago, Lord Krishna recited the Gita to Arjuna. Therefore, it has become a custom in the court to take an oath by laying hands on the song. The Bhagavad Gita is one of the most important texts in Hindustan and one of the most important texts in human history based on philosophy.
Indians consider this scripture to be holy scripture. Therefore, it has become a custom in the court to take an oath by laying hands on the song. The Bhagavad Gita is one of the most important texts in Hindustan and one of the most important texts in human history based on philosophy,” she wrote.
