Lecturer Suspended from Catholic College by Muslim Pressure
Hyderabad (India), persecution4christ, July 17, 2007: Prashanti, woman lecturer of the St. Ann's Degree College for Women in Mehdipatnam in Hyderabad has resigned from the college on July 16 as a result of christian persecution. She was suspended by the management on July 16 by the pressure of Muslim organisations, accused insulting Islam by praising Salman Rushdi in one of her classes.
Some of the students of BA final year alleged that Prashanti during her lecture of political science made certain remarks against Islam on last Friday.
In fact, somebody argued with her about Rushdi and she freely said her openion. But it was a trap and certain students called for a strike.
Immediately Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) legislators Afsar Khan and Ahmed Pasha Khadri and his supporters rushed to the college, barged into the principal's room and demanded immediate action against the lecturer.
A heated argument ensued between the legislators and the college staff. Sensing the mood, Prashanti offered an apology but the protesters were not satisfied and continued to shout slogans like "Allah-o-Akbar" (God is great) and "arrest her". The protestors clad in burqas, gathered in front of the principal's office.
Legislator Habeeb Abdul Rehman of Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) also rushed to the college and lodged his protest with the college management.
Some of the lecturers said to the persecution for Christ that the students had misunderstood Prashanti. She did not make any insulting remarks against Islam. However, the protestors claimed that this was not the first time she had made such remarks.
"A criminal case was registered against Prashanti in the Asifnagar Police Station and she was arrested. A police picket also still continuing near the college," Mohammed Jameeluddin, the Inspector of Asifnagar Police Station told..
St. Ann's College is one of the biggest women's colleges in Hyderabad. It is owned by the Roman Catholic Church. And a majority of its 3,000 students are Muslims.
It seems that some outside powers played trick through some students to remove Prashanti from the college. A judicial enquiry is needed regarding her suspension.
