UP school teachers suspended after Bajrang Dal protest over framed Quranic verse
Sambhal (Uttar Pradesh): Members of the Bajrang Dal and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad forcibly entered a government primary school in Nagla Purva village of Sambhal district and objected to a framed Quranic verse displayed above the gate of a classroom . Their objection led to the suspension of two teachers pending an inquiry.
The activists alleged that assistant teacher Mohammad Nazim was giving Islamic lessons to students. Nazim denied the charges. The school staff and local residents also denied the allegation, as reported by The Observer Post. Videos of the incident surfaced on social media, showing protestors entering the school premises, questioning teachers, and inspecting classrooms, blackboards, and books.
The video also showed the protestors asking children whether namaz was being conducted in school? The students denied any such activity in the school.
Nazim was quoted by The Observer Post as saying that he had strictly followed the prescribed government syllabus and had never taught any religious content to students. He described the allegations as false and politically motivated. The claims of the removal of the posters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and Goddess Saraswati, made by the protestors were also denied by the school staff.
Following a written complaint to the police, the framed verse was removed from the school, while Basic Shiksha Adhikari Alka Sharma ordered the suspension of headmistress Pushpa Jatav and assistant teacher Mohammad Nazim. Sharma said the suspensions were precautionary and noted that it would remain in effect while a departmental inquiry was conducted.
Local education activists and residents have criticized the action. They questioned the decision to suspend the teachers before the investigation was concluded. Some argue that the suspension was motivated by street protests rather than proven facts.
Sambhal's Muslim community has also expressed their concerns about what they called selective scrutiny. They also questioned why similar issues were not raised about other religious symbols commonly present in public places.
