Bengaluru: In the run-up to the Assembly elections in 2018, the State government is gearing up to initiate action against Primary and High School teachers for their political affiliations and activities. The government’s move comes after AICC General Secretary in-charge of Karnataka K.C. Venugopal reportedly seeking a list of college lecturers for their affiliation with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Akhila Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishat (ABVP).
Primary and Secondary Education Minister Tanveer Sait has decided to draw up guidelines for teachers and Principals. “I have been seeing many such (right-wing) groups using school and PU college buildings for their events and discussions. Even degree colleges are used for the same purpose. These things should stop inside an educational institution,” Sait said.
