After meat ban, Rajasthan Govt courts another controversy over order on Bakr-Id
Which is even more disturbing for many is the fact that the day coincides with the Muslim festival of Bakr-Id, which is a holiday, but will not be this time.
The Vasundhara Raje government's order instructs colleges not to declare a holiday on the day.
Reports said Muslim groups, upset at the government order are considering to move the court against the move to cancel the holiday.
The state Higher Education Minister Kalicharan Saraf, whose department issued the announcement on the blood donation camps, said there was nothing wrong in the order.
