Ranchi: The socio-religious body of Muslims, Edara-e-Shariah, and the minority cell of the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) took strong exception to the circulation of a Prophet Mohammad photograph in the study material distributed by Digi Sath a platform that operates the online education system among school students.

The cell has also filed an FIR with the Kotwali police station here to identify those responsible and to take action against them.

The agitators are, however, adamant and said they would go ahead with their plan, irrespective of government’s action.
Director of Jharkhand Education Project Council, Sailesh Chaurasia, has asked the DEOs to submit daily reports on the presence of para-teachers in schools of their jurisdiction.
Chaurasia said any para-teacher from work and taking part in the agitation would be penalised under the “no work, no pay” policy and would also face disciplinary action. He said permission for leave would be granted only in special situations like serious illnesses.
