Gujarat Namaz Row

Six students from Afghanistan and one from East Africa have been asked to vacate the Gujarat University's hostel rooms for overstaying, an official said on Sunday, in a move coming weeks after some foreign students were attacked for offering namaz.

Gujarat University will be holding orientation sessions for its overseas students to train them in "cultural sensitivity", Vice-Chancellor Dr Neerja A Gupta said, hours after a mob stormed a hostel and attacked foreign students for offering namaz

A video of two students offering namaz on the Maharaja Sayajirao University (MSU) campus in Gujarat's Vadodara city went viral on Monday, with authorities saying they will counsel the duo to refrain from offering prayers in future.
