BJP slams WB govt circular on dining rooms in Muslim-dominated schools

West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh has slammed the state government for its directive on construction of dining rooms for midday meals in state-run schools in Cooch Behar district, having more than 70 per cent minority students.

He questioned whether there was any "malafide motive" behind the "segregation".

Uploading a copy of the circular on his Twitter handle, Ghosh wrote, "The West Bengal Government has issued a circular whereby it has directed the school authorities where 70 per cent or more students are from the Muslim community to reserve a dining hall with seating arrangements for them."
