Zumba class will be started in Kerala schools from this year. This class has also started in some schools. The Kerala Education Department has started a fitness program in schools under an anti -drug campaign. Under this, many schools have started training Zumba.
Muslim organizations have opposed Zumba Dance. These organizations have objected to boys and girls dancing with each other and wearing less clothes and dancing together.
Muslim organizations say it is like promoting vulgarity. We will not accept it.
TK Ashraf, general secretary of the Wisdom Islamic Organization, said- My son will not participate in this session. Education Minister V Shivnakutty said that such thoughts will dissolve more deadly poison than drugs in the society.
Muslim leaders said- Do not impose obscenity in the name of fitness
Nasar Faizi Kouthai, a leader of a Muslim organization Samasta, described the move as violation of personal freedom and imposing obscenity in the name of physical fitness. He said- Dance is done in Jumba by wearing at least clothes. If the government has instructed older children to do the same, then it is objectionable.
Nasar Faizi said, instead of improving the existing physical training, we are being forced to do vulgarity. It is also a violation of personal freedom and fundamental rights of students whose moral values also do not allow dance.
Education Minister said- let children laugh and stay healthy
Kerala Education Minister V Shivnakutty defended the government’s decision and shared a video on Facebook. In which Muslim students are seen participating in Zumba session. The video is from Thanbihul Islam Higher Secondary School in Kasargod.
Shivnakutty said, let the children play, laugh, have fun and be healthy. Such objections will dissolve more deadly poison than drugs in the society.
