17 school students suspended for shouting 'Jai Shri Ram'


Ranchi, Sep 25 (IANS): A church-run school in Jharkhand's steel city Jamshedpur has suspended 17 students for allegedly shouting 'Jai Shri Ram' in the school, drawing protests from Hindu-right wing groups on Wednesday.

The matter came to light when some parents approached the district education officials, while Appu Tiwari, who runs an NGO, on Tuesday, submitted a complaint to the District Education Officer (DEO) that 17 students studying in the school at Beldih were suspended for shouting 'Jai Shri Ram'.

However, school principal L Peterson, who said that the students were sent on five days study leave as their activities breached discipline and were disturbing the school's environment, on Wednesday said that no student was suspended.

"No student has been suspended. The students were bunking the library and they were asked to call their parents. This step was taken just to inform the parents about activities of their children. The board exams start soon," the principal said in a letter.

Meanwhile, some Hindu right-wing groups protested at the DEO's office on Wednesday.

    This is not RSS Shaka. It's a secular school for all Indians irrespective of caste and religion. No ABVP politics inside school campus. Up to them to do anything outside in public places.

    It is clearly evident & apparent that the students were asked to bring parents for - their act of indiscipline.., Probably .... the NGO complainant was just articulating the scenario to suit to meet the hidden agenda..., it is clearly reported that & I quote - "....allegedly shouting 'Jai Shri Ram'".

    The truth must come out.., doing sin & or engaging in sin don't get pardoned or sheltered by shouting - "Jai Shri Ram".., if so then it is a disgrace to the sanctity & reverence of Lord Shri Ram...,

    May be they are future politicians, studies are not important to them! They may end up as right wing protesters if there is no proper break. Na ghar ka...na ghat ka!! Its parents duty to get them well educated.

    The students are in school for study and not shout. At present teacher are not allowed to shout.The parents should teach children properly.it will become costly to the society if it continues. The discipline in school already lost because of business interest and not having educational interest.Moral classes to be introduced in school. The day may not be far of shooting in school if this trend continues.we have seen girl student fighting on road. The base of children strengthened now itself.proper action to be taken on the concerned may be children or management. The school rules to be approved by the Government

    Why didn't the activists teach the students to shout 'Jai 'Bharat Maata' ??? Now that they got leave, let them join the group and together shout 'Jai Sri Ram' for five days.
