Christians and Muslims protest education reforms in Kerala

I wonder if left politicians would be so sensitive about Hindu concerns

The latest to bring minority ire against the Left are the recommendations—
expected to be made—by an expert committee formed by the state government to
amend the 50-year-old Kerala Educational Rules. Both Christian churches and
Muslim religious organisations are already agitated even after the Government’s
repeated assurance that none of the feared recommendations would be implemented
and that they have not yet been finalised by the expert committee.

“We are neither contemplating any changes in school timings, which
would clash with madrasa classes nor is there a proposal to allow boys and girls
sit together. This is a calumny spread by vested interests against the
Government,” says Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan. Alarmed by the anger of the
minorities, Education Minister M.A. Baby met the powerful Sunni cleric
Kanthapuram A.P. Abubaker Maulavi and assured him that there was nothing to
fear.
