Hyderabad: An eighth standard girl, Akhila from Telangana Minorities Residential Educational Institutions Society - Girls Charminar 2 strengthened the feel of secularism with her speech on Prophet Muhammed (PBUH). She bagged the first prize at the elocution contest ‘The Students Seerat Fest 2017’ recently that was conducted by Students Islamic Organisation of India (SIO), Babanagar Unit as part of the campaign “Muhammad (PBUH) for All”.
An emotional Akhila, who spoke for four minutes in Telugu about the Prophet and his teachings about women’s rights, said, “I always wanted to learn about him. When I got to know about the competition I referred books and prepared the speech in 30 minutes. This was my first time on stage and it was overwhelming for me to win it for such an important topic.”
Up to 14 schools, both government and private, participated in the quiz and elocution following an essay writing competition on the topic “Inspired by Muhammed”.
Speaking on the occasion, Anwar Khan, President of All India Teachers Association (AITA), said, “It is important for children to know about all religions and respect them with sincerity.”
Chief organiser Abdullah Azher along with members of SIO that included Abdul Mannan among others were present.
