Last week, a group of class 11 students from a private school in Goa were taken for a workshop at a mosque in the port city of Mormugao. Since then, the school has been at the centre of a storm, with the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) demanding an ED probe into the school management’s finances, the management suspending the principal, and several students protesting against the principal’s suspension.
According to sources, the state Education Department has moved a proposal to initiate action against the school management for sending students for the workshop and to look into the allegations raised by the VHP.
