Shivamogga (Karnataka): The Karnataka education department on Saturday issued an order to transfer a lady teacher of a school to another place on the charge of scolding the students to 'go to Pakistan' for making noise in the classroom. The incident took place at Government Urdu Senior Primary School in Shivamogga city.
On August 29, a lady teacher here allegedly asked a couple of students, who did not listen to the lesson properly and were making noise, to pay attention to her. As the students did not respond to the teacher, it was alleged that the teacher scolded them saying, "You should go to Pakistan instead of staying here". The parents of the children came to know about this and demanded the suspension of the teacher.
