In response to the suspension of an Art teacher in a government school last week, members of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) staged a protest outside the Collectorate here on Tuesday.
The teacher, Rajkumar, was suspended by Chief Educational Officer Balamurali for reasons including the use of images of political leaders on a letter pad and the alleged mention of a false teachers’ organisation. “These are not valid reasons for suspension. The teacher can be let off with a warning in such cases. This is why we suspect that there is some other issue in the school,” one of the members said.
Mr. Rajkumar, a day after his suspension order took effect, lodged a complaint with the Superintendent of Police, seeking action against the CEO.
