The suspension order against Sulekha Dalal, a Haryana teacher and supporter of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), has been revoked after the party publicly condemned the action. Dalal was suspended for attending the party's protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
The CJP spokesperson claimed that the suspension notice was released on Wednesday (June 10), days after Dalal attended the protest. However, the spokesperson later posted on X that the suspension was 'revoked'.
The suspension order was issued by the district elementary education officer (DEEO), stating that Dalal was suspended from June 8 for violating conduct rules resulting from her failure to seek prior permission before participating in such events.
Dalal had alleged that the suspension order was a way for the government to target her due to her decision to take part in the CJP protest held on June 6 in the national capital.
The CJP issued a statement calling out the decision as “an attack on the constitutional right of every citizen to speak, assemble, question and dissent”.
