Hyderabad school fires teacher who assigned Islamic prayer recitation as homework
A private school in Hyderabad has terminated a teacher following controversy over a homework assignment that required students to recite the Kalma, an Islamic prayer. The incident came to light after parents of a Hindu student raised objections to the religiously charged assignment. The school responded by issuing a termination letter and permanently barring the teacher from future employment at the institution. BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla claimed credit for the teacher's removal, saying his intervention was instrumental in the decision. The school has not made any public statement beyond the issuance of the termination letter.
