(‘Kalma’ refers to phrases glorifying Allah.)

Bhagyanagar (Telangana) – ‘Success, The School’ in Saidabad has taken strict action against teacher Sheikh Ayesha Parveen by dismissing her from service with immediate effect. The parents of a Class II Hindu student had alleged that the teacher had assigned their child homework requiring him to memorise the ‘Kalma’.

After the matter came to light, the school administration conducted an internal inquiry and decided to dismiss her. The termination letter issued by the school not only stated that she had been dismissed from service but also made it clear that she would not be employed in any school run by the institution in the future.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has demanded a high-level inquiry into the matter. It alleged that the AIMIM (All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen – All India Muslim Unity Organisation) was behind the incident. It also demanded that a high-level investigation be conducted and that the school’s recognition be withdrawn.

Through this action, the school management conveyed a clear message that no act contrary to its policies would be tolerated within the educational institution. However, the school has still not officially disclosed exactly what homework had been assigned or why it was considered religious in nature.
