The Nirmala College in Kerala's Moovattupuzha has recently become the center of controversy over students' religious rights.
Some students of Nirmala College protested for space to offer Namaz, and this issue has sparked both political and social discussions.
A controversy is brewing in Kerala after a church-run college turned down a group of students’ demand for space on the campus to offer namaz. The Nirmala College in Moovattupuzha rejected the demand, saying no religious activities could be permitted on its premises. However, it said students would be allowed to visit a nearby mosque if they requested in writing.
