A government school principal and a teacher here were suspended over the school wall sporting an alleged anti-Brahmin slogan that one of them attributed to Dalit icon B R Ambedkar. Lallitpur s Basic Education Officer (BEO) Ram Pravesh on Wednesday said Principal Anil Kumar Rahul and Assistant Teacher Qadir Khan of Avni village in Talbehat were suspended after the school wall was found displaying the objectionable anti-Brahmin remark.
The remark was detected on Sunday during the inauguration of smart classes in the school and the two were suspended on Tuesday, he said. BEO Ram Pravesh said roughly translated in English, the Hindi sentence painted on the school wall read: Ringing school bells will ensure your welfare, ringing those of temples will benefit only Brahmins.
