SRINAGAR: A group of parents Thursday alleged that Physical Teachers of some Government Girls Higher Secondary Schools in Srinagar city have been forcing their daughters to participate in Indias January 26 Republic Day parade.
They said that it doesnt suit to a conscious person to allow his daughter for performing dance and singing in front of the unknown persons. It is also against our collective conscious, the parents said.
I was shocked to learn from my daughter who had gone to a Higher Secondary School (name withheld) seeking admission for class 11th that Physical Teacher there forced her to arrive at Bakshi Stadium for January 26 rehearsals. How can a teacher force a student when she is not ready to participate in such parades, father of a girl student told CNS.
They alleged that last year as well the Principal of a Girls Higher Secondary School had warned students that they will be shown failed in their practical subjects if they refuse to participate in August 15 celebrations at Bakshi Stadium. We have decided to hit the streets and expose these elements in public in case they continue to force our girls to participate in Indias Republic and Independence Day celebrations, the parents said.
