Navsari; A video allegedly showing a teacher from the Seventh Day School in Navsari’s Vejalpore area, along with his wife, encouraging religious conversions, is circulating on social media. The video, which depicts an oath declaring Jesus as the only God, has sparked outrage among Hindu organizations.

The controversy began when the video surfaced, showing Kamal Naskar, a teacher at the Seventh Day English Medium School, and his wife, Sarita, leading a Christian prayer with children and others. In the video, Sarita is heard saying, “Jesus is the true God,” and administering an oath renouncing faith in Hindu deities in favor of Jesus. The incident has provoked strong reactions from Hindu groups in Navsari’s Vejalpore area.

The oath reportedly included the words,“ઈશુ આ..!! હમારે હિન્દુ ધર્મ મેં જે ભી દૈવી દેવતા હો, જે વાચા વાચી થી, હમ ઉસ વાચા કો ઈસુ કે નામ સે તોડ દેતે હૈ… ઈસુ હી જીવિત પરમેશ્વર હૈ…મેરા ખાના, મેરી પ્રીત પ્રભુ યેશુ કો હી… ઈસુ પરમેશ્વર કો ભજેંગે, અબ તું હિ હમારા પરમેશ્વર હૈ…”

Following the video’s circulation, the AntarRashtriya Hindu Parishad and Rashtriya Bajrang Dal filed a written application with the Navsari District Police Chief. They accused Kamal Naskar and Sarita of misleading and converting underprivileged Hindus, as allegedly evident in the viral video. The groups demanded an FIR against the couple and strict legal action, warning of protests and demonstrations if no action is taken.

Meanwhile, the administration of the Seventh Day School denied any connection between the video and school activities. They clarified that the video was recorded externally and was unrelated to the institution. While confirming that Kamal Naskar is a teacher at the school, they stated that his wife, Sarita, has no association with it. The school announced disciplinary action against Kamal and promised further updates soon.

Amid the growing controversy, Sarita Naskar released a video on social media, stating, “I saw that our video is going viral. It is unrelated to any school or religious conversion. It was recorded during a prayer session elsewhere, but some of my words were inappropriate and may have hurt Hindu brothers and sisters. I apologize for this and assure you it won’t happen again. Conversion or disrespecting any religion was never my intent.”

Jalalpur Police Station PI, Devraj Ladumor, confirmed that officers visited the school for investigation following the video’s circulation. However, the couple and the school principal were absent. The police plan to question them as soon as they are available. DeshGujarat
