Watch: Widow teacher suspended by Uttarakhand CM during Janta Darbar

<strong>New Delhi:</strong> A video of Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat has surfaced recently where his outburst of anger on a widow school teacher could be seen. The teacher when approached the CM in his Janta Darbar seeking solution to her problems, she was suspended by him as he had objection to the choice of words used by her. Putting forward her grievances, the teacher appealed to the CM to stop her transfer. She said: “ I have been teaching here since past 25 years. My husband passed away and there is nobody to look after my children. I cannot leave my kids alone, neither can I leave this job. You have to do justice to me.” On this plea of the teacher, CM Rawat questioned her: “Do you remember what had you written in your undertaking during your joining?” On this question the teacher responded by saying that she never wrote that I will face exile (van vaas). The slogan raised by your government is  Beti Bachao and Beti Padhao and not to send them on exile.” The tone of the teacher irked the CM and he said “you’re a working woman, teaching is your profession- speak with decency, You need to learn some grace.” The teacher continued speaking which further infuriated the CM and he threatened of suspending her there and then. The woman then said “You do not need to order my suspension; I would prefer sitting at home rather than teaching now.” Seeing the temper of the Chief Minister, the security guards detained the teacher. The teacher kept on requesting the CM to not take an action against her, but the angered CM ordered immediate dismissal of the woman and asked the guards to take her in custody.   <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WATCH?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WATCH</a> Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat directs police to take a teacher into custody after she protested at ‘Janata Darbar’ over issue of her transfer.
