India: Students denounce religious discrimination after IIMC denies permission for iftar

The Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC) in New Delhi is facing accusations of ‘Islamophobia’ after refusing permission for an Iftar party, Muslim Mirror reported.

The administration allegedly denied permission for the Iftar party while allowing Hindu festivals, sparking a debate over religious inclusivity.

According to the article, despite students’ efforts, their request was dismissed without explanation, leading to allegations of hypocrisy and religious discrimination.

In response to the denial, students organized peaceful protests on campus, demanding an explanation from the administration and calling for greater religious tolerance within the institution.
