“The teacher said the mothers of Muslim children who do not pay attention to studies of their wards are responsible for their academic decline. We have informed the basic education officer and action will be taken against the teacher,” the police officer said in the statement.
The child”s father said he will not press charges as they reached a compromise with the school authorities. He added that he has decided not to send his child to Neha Public School anymore.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi reacted to the incident and said “Sowing the poison of discrimination in the minds of innocent children, turning a holy place like school into a marketplace of hatred – nothing worse a teacher can do for the country.”
“This is the same kerosene spread by the BJP which has set every corner of India on fire. Children are the future of India – do not hate them, we all have to teach love together,” the Congress MP added.
मासूम बच्चों के मन में भेदभाव का ज़हर घोलना, स्कूल जैसे पवित्र स्थान को नफ़रत का बाज़ार बनाना – एक शिक्षक देश के लिए इससे बुरा कुछ नहीं कर सकता।
ये भाजपा का फैलाया वही केरोसिन है जिसने भारत के कोने-कोने में आग लगा रखी है।
बच्चे भारत का भविष्य हैं – उनको नफ़रत नहीं, हम सबको मिल…
