Paresh Rawal voices support for Muslim professor at Indian university

(Dunya News) – Bollywood veteran actor Paresh Rawal has raised his voice in support of Muslim Sanskrit Professor Feroz Khan and expressed concerns over the protest held against the hiring of the educationist. 

In a post on social-networking website Twitter, the actor said that language has nothing to do with religion. He also appealed the students to not engage in ‘idiocy’.

“Irony is professor Feroz has done his masters and PhD in Sanskrit,” he added.

Rawal stated, “By same logic great singer late Shri Mohammad Rafi ji should not have sung any BHAJANS and Naushad Saab should not have composed it”.

It is to be mentioned here that Hindu hardline students at Banaras Hindu University (BHU) are holding protest sit-in outside the vice-chancellor office against appointment of Professor Feroz Khan.
