‘What major fault committed?’: Kumaraswamy slams suspension of teachers over RSS march

Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy has criticized the Karnataka School Education Department for suspending two government teachers for attending Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) route marches. Kumaraswamy questioned the major fault the teachers committed by participating in the marches, asking if their actions resulted in any damage, violence or disruption in Karnataka.

The suspension orders were issued by Yadgir Deputy Director of School Education Channabasappa Mudhol on August 20, targeting Gururaj Joshi and Anna Saheb Deshmukh, who participated in RSS Path Sanchalan events in Talikote and Hunasagi, respectively. The department cited their participation as "dereliction of duty" and violated various rules of the Karnataka Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 2021.
