Classes Halted As MP School Used For Religious Event, Minister Denies

Classes at the school have been disrupted since the Bhagavad Katha started at a neighbouring temple on April 3.

A government primary school has been turned into a kitchen and an Anganwari centre into a makeshift air-conditioned resting place in Rathkheda village of Shivpuri district for a Bhagavad Katha event organised by Madhya Pradesh Minister of State Suresh Dhakad Rathkheda's support to mark a temple's renovation. Students of the school allege that classes have been halted for a week now as the school premises are being used for the religious event but Minister Rathkheda has denied the charge.

The school premises were being used to cook food and prasad for devotees. Some of the classrooms were used to store the raw material for cooking food and mineral water bottles, while other classrooms are being used as resting places for women engaged in preparing food.
