The BMC on Tuesday passed the motion making Suryanamaskar mandatory in all its schools. The motion was put forth by BJP corporator Samita Kamble, who had claimed that it is for the health of the BMC school children. 

Unhappy that the proposal got passed, Samajwadi Party corporator Rais Shaikh, who had opposed it, said that Muslims won’t send their kids to civic run schools. However, the proposal is still far from reality, as the BMC commissioner will now put forth his view and depending on his nod, the proposal will be implemented.
