Controversy Unfolds: Teacher Suspended Over Allegations of Religious Activity in Yoga Class

In a controversial development in Madhya Pradesh's Burhanpur district, a government school teacher has been suspended following accusations of religious misconduct. Allegations against Jaboor Ahmed Tadvi claim he instructed students to perform namaz during yoga sessions, a charge he fervently denies.

The incident has sparked outrage among some parents and right-wing groups who insist that Tadvi was attempting to introduce religious practices under the guise of yoga in a government school. District Education Officer Santosh Singh Solanki confirmed the suspension after a preliminary investigation.

Tadvi maintains that the accusations are baseless and highlight the need for clarity around the yoga routines described in class. 'Shashankasana,' a common yoga pose, has been misinterpreted as a religious gesture. As tension rises, calls for a fair investigation echo among concerned parties.
