District Primary Education Officer K.L.

“Garba is Hindu festival in which another religion was promoted that has hurt the sentiment of the majority community and so Hindu Dharma Sena demanded swift and stern action against teachers,” said Rajan Tripathi of Hindu Dharma Sena.

“Parents came to know, when students told them after returning from school. Some 30 students wearing Muslim group T-shirts started chanting ‘Ya Hussain’, which was followed by Hindu students,” he alleged. -IANS
