MUZAFFARNAGAR: Teacher Charged for Divisive Remarks and Instructing Students to Slap Muslim Classmate
Muzaffarnagar police have taken action against a teacher accused of making divisive remarks and instructing her students to physically reprimand a fellow Muslim classmate for failing to complete his homework. The incident, which took place at Neha Public School in Khubbapur village, sparked widespread condemnation from political parties and the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR).
Charges Filed Against the Teacher
The accused teacher, Tripta Tyagi, was officially charged under IPC sections 323 and 504, which entail non-cognizable offenses. These offenses are bailable and do not require immediate arrest, pending a warrant. In response, Tyagi claimed that the video had been manipulated to exacerbate tensions and alleged that it was recorded by the boy’s uncle. However, she admitted that it was an error on her part to encourage the boy’s peers to administer physical punishment.
Notice Issued to the School
The state education department has issued a formal notice to the school regarding the incident. The notice demands an explanation from the school administration as to why the government recognition of the school should not be cancelled. The Basic Shiksha Adhikari of Muzaffarnagar, Shubham Shukla, confirmed that the notice had been dispatched to the school’s management committee secretary, Ravinder Tyagi.
Political Fallout
The incident has caused a political uproar, with leaders from various parties expressing their disapproval. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi condemned the incident, accusing the BJP of sowing the “poison of discrimination” in the minds of innocent children. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav demanded the immediate dismissal of the teacher, calling her a “blot on teacher society.” BJP spokesperson Harishchandra Srivastava dismissed Yadav’s comments as “superficial politics.”
NCPCR’s Actions
The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights has written a letter to the district administration and UP Police, urging them to file an FIR in the matter. The commission also requested that the identity of the victim boy not be revealed by sharing the video.
Conclusion
The incident has triggered a debate on the role of teachers in promoting tolerance and inclusivity in schools. The actions taken by the police and education department reflect the seriousness with which the incident is being treated. The case is expected to proceed in accordance with legal procedures, while the school faces the possibility of having its government recognition cancelled. The incident has also highlighted the need for stricter guidelines and training for teachers to ensure the safety and well-being of students.
