Saharanpur: A Samajwadi Party member has been booked by the Uttar Pradesh police for allegedly operating an unauthorised school in Saharanpur, where children were taught politicised alphabets, The Times of India reported on Monday.

The FIR, registered at the Dehat Kotwali police station, was based on a complaint filed by a youth identified as Maan Singh, who accused Farhan Gada of politicising education and misleading children. He alleged that the children were being taught phrases like “A for Akhilesh”, “B for Babasaheb”, “D for Dimple” and “M for Mulayam Singh Yadav”, referring to Samajwadi Party leaders and BR Ambedkar.

The incident came to light after a video, reportedly filmed at Gada’s residence in Ramnagar village, was widely shared on social media. “Just as convent schools have their own curriculum, our PDA Pathshala introduces children to socialist ideology,” TOI quoted him as saying.

Farhad Gada stated that he was educating children who were staying at home due to school closures. However, an investigation reportedly revealed that the children featured in the viral video were brought in from a private school and had never been impacted by any school shutdowns.

He has been charged under Section 353(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for promoting enmity between groups, and under provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Prevention of Atrocities Act.

Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav accused the BJP-led state government of being anti-education. In a post on X, he remarked, "Even the British didn't file an FIR for studying. The anti-education face of BJP has now been exposed to the public. Now BJP will be gone forever.”
