BJP Protests Teacher’s Suspension Over Savarkar Quiz Question
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders have launched a protest against the suspension of a government school teacher in Kasaragod, Kerala. The suspended teacher has been identified as Guru Prasad. He faces allegations of praising Veer Savarkar during a quiz competition. Here is a look at the details of this controversy.
Reports indicate that the suspension of Guru Prasad, a government school teacher in Kasaragod, has sparked a major political row. A committee led by Guru Prasad had included a question praising Veer Savarkar in a quiz based on the theme of independence. Following this incident, the Muslim League and the CPM protested against the committee responsible for drafting the questions, alleging that the government was attempting to promote "RSS ideology." Subsequently, the Deputy Director of the Education Department issued an order suspending Guru Prasad.
**BJP Protests Against Education Minister**
The teacher's suspension in Kasaragod ignited a political controversy. BJP leaders opposed the decision on Monday. When Education Minister Shamsuddin visited Kasaragod for an event, BJP leaders—including Advocate BL Ashwini—staged a protest and raised slogans against him. Police intervened and removed the protesters from the site. The BJP has declared that protests against the government and the Education Minister will continue until the teacher's suspension is revoked.
**Controversy Over 'Vande Mataram'**
It is worth noting that a political dispute regarding 'Vande Mataram' is also ongoing in Kerala. Kerala Chief Secretary Vishwanath Sinha issued a circular directing that 'Vande Mataram' be sung in its "entirety" during Independence Day programs. Following this development, the CPI(M) alleged that the Congress-led government in the state had capitulated to the political agenda of the Sangh Parivar.
