Christian school teacher beats up Hindu student for wearing red thread on his wrist

• Incident at Bokaro (Jharkhand)
• Forced to remove the thread

Bokaro (Jharkhand) – A Hindu student of Class IX wearing a sacred thread (Kalawa) on his wrist was beaten up by school teacher at the Carmel Convent School and forced to cut the thread. The name of this teacher is Amit Lakda and he put so much pressure on the student that the boy had to cut the thread with a blade. The aggrieved student tried to explain Lakda that the thread is matter of his faith but Lakda beat him without listening anything.

This incident took place on 18th July. BJP and local Hindu organisations have taken serious objection to this incident and demanded action against the accused teacher. School Principal Sister Joyce Kullu A.C. assured action against the teacher. Hindu organisations have also requested the Deputy Commissioner of Police and Senior Collector of Bokaro to look into the matter. They have assured to investigate the matter and take further action.

Editorial Viewpoints

• It is not surprising that such incidents happen in the State ruled by Hindu-hating Jharkhand Mukti Morcha party.

• Such incidents of Hindu-hatred in Christian schools are frequent. Hindus must put pressure on the Government to take action against such schools.
