School teacher renders apology for denigrating Deities at Jalgaon

Paldhi (Dist. Jalgaon): Students from S. N. Zavar School made a complaint to pro-Hindu activists from the village against a teacher named Mr. Anand Sapkale that he was in the habit of passing comments denigrating Hindu Deities. The young men attending ‘Dharmashikshan’ classes of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) then met the said teacher and created awareness in him about denigration of Deities. (Congratulations to the devout young men from Paldhi who became active for preventing damage caused to Dharma. Such devout youth are the true strength of Dharma. – Editor SP)

Hindu youth explained to teacher Sapkale that ‘Deities are the seats of worship. His comments were leading to denigration of Deities and it would result in sin. It also affected the faith of students. Hindus are tolerant; but nobody should take advantage of the same.” The other teachers from the school also supported the youth. Mr. Sandip Fulpagar of HJS, Grampanchayat members Anil Kasat, Yogesh Chaudhary, Mahendra Chaudhary, Kailas Thakur, Balu Vyas, Bhikan Mali, Shankar Mali, Digambar Mali, Pravin Pardeshi, Anand Baviskar and many devout Hindus were present on the occasion.

• Do not apply ‘tila (on the forehead)’  as he felt scared.
