The professor has been sent on a one-month forced leave to offer prayers at a college in Aligarh, India.
According to the National Herald India, Shri Sarvarshini College made this decision on Tuesday after a video of Professor SR Khalid went viral in which he could be seen praying on the lawn of the college.
As soon as this video came to light, hardline Hindu youth of the right wing started demanding action against Prof. SR Khalid.
A college spokesman told the media that some young leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had accused the professor of violating discipline and trying to sabotage peace by offering public prayers. What is it.
The spokesman said the matter was being investigated.
A man has also lodged a complaint against Professor SR Khalid at the Quarsi police station, but police say they will take action only after receiving a report from the college administration.
Deepak Sharma, a student leader, said that praying inside the college by the professor was an attempt to spoil the peaceful atmosphere.
It is to be noted that in recent years there has been an increase in the incidence of violence against Muslims in various cities of India and it is often the case that right wing Hindu nationalists are mentioned in such incidents.
