Members of Rajkiya Prathmik Shikshak Sangh continued their agitation for the second day as the teachers affiliated to the union boycotted classes till noon on Friday while protesting against the recent alleged misconduct of a Bharatiya Janata Party leader with the Haridwar district education officer and demanding his arrest.
The agitating teachers said that they would continue their stir and refrain from taking classes till the BJP leader Navneet Parmar who is the assistant dean of Gurukul Kangri Vidyalaya Vibhag is arrested for his misconduct with the district education officer. The incident reportedly happened May 8 as the BJP leader had allegedly misbehaved with the officer while taking up a matter related to S D College. Subsequently, an FIR was lodged against the leader.
The block head of Rajkiya Prathmik Shikshak Sangh Ravindra Chauhan said while talking to The Pioneer, “The stir would continue till 21 May if the accused is not arrested.” Secretary of the same organisation Jitendra said that in case the accused is not arrested by May 21 they would lock all the state government- aided primary, secondary and higher secondary schools. He further said that Sangh members might meet the state education minister soon to demand arrest of the accused.
