"Lab pe aati hai dua" leads to suspension of Hathras school principal in Uttar Pradesh

A school principal has been suspended while two teachers were handed over termination letters on Thursday for making students sing the Urdu poem ‘lab pe aati hai dua’. However, parents and right-wing groups alleged that their children were made to offer namaz.

On April 19, angry parents and right-wing organisations



gathered outside the gates of BLS International School in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, alleging that their students were being taught Islamic teachings.

Self-proclaimed Hindu leader Deepak Sharma led the protest. He claimed that students were forced to wear burkha every day and demanded immediate police action against the school.
