Deputing school teachers for Dhirendra Shastri's 'Katha' sparks row in MP

Bhopal, June 29 (SocialNews.XYZ) Deployment of government school teachers for a programme of self-styled godman Dhirendra Shastri of Bageshwar Dham has drawn sharp criticism from the Madhya Pradesh Shikshak Congress (MPSC). 

As per sources, around 100 teachers enrolled with state-run schools were deployed for a programme of Shastri in Rajgarh district by the district education department for assisting the police. The three-day programme, known as 'Katha', was organised from June 26-28 at Khilchipur town in Rajgarh district. However, following objections by the MPSC, the order was withdrawn on June 27.
Responding to the controversy, Karan Singh Bhilala, a senior official in the district education department, told the press that the order was withdrawn soon after receiving objection.
