A government schoolteacher was placed under suspension in Sehore in Madhya Pradesh after she allegedly shared on social media a video of a Pakistani woman praying for the safety of soldiers of that country during Operation Sindoor, an official said on Sunday.

Sehore District Education Officer Sanjay Singh Tomar said Shahnaz Parveen, a teacher in a government school in Mehatwara, some 55 kilometres from the district headquarters, had been suspended.

The action came following a complaint from the Bajrang Dal and a directive from the Ashta Sub-Divisional Magistrate, he said.

She shared a video with the caption ‘Allah, keep Pakistani soldiers safe’ on her Facebook account, he said, adding Parveen was suspended under a government letter (directive) prohibiting the posting and sharing of such items on social media.

He, however, did not elaborate on the rules. PTI
