Criticising co-education in schools and colleges, Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani said the Jammu and Kashmir government was promoting “immoral activities” by keeping girls and boys shoulder to shoulder. “Young boys and girls are kept together in co-education system and are shoulder to shoulder with each other. You are keeping fire and hay together and no one can save the hay from burning,” Geelani told reporters at his residence in Srinagar.
He said the government was promoting “immoral activities” as young girls and boys in the state were not being provided moral and religious education in schools. Geelani said parents and the elderly must keep vigil on young boys and girls.
