Baby warns of stringent action

KOZHIKODE: Education Minister M.A. Baby has warned of stringent action if cluster meetings for training teachers are disrupted.

He was speaking to presspersons here on Sunday after paying his last respects to the headmaster who died after being roughed up by protesters obstructing the conduct of a cluster meeting in Malappuram district on Saturday.

Mr. Baby said the State government would not remain a mute spectator to the violent incidents. These incidents had been planned and those carrying them out should think if it was right to do so. At a cluster meeting in the beginning of this academic year, a pregnant woman escaped by the skin of her teeth when agitators attacked her.

The government had done the maximum it could on the issue.

It had appointed an expert committee and sought a report within two weeks. He said the death of the headmaster on Saturday would be remembered as a ‘black day’ in the education history of the State.
