A government school teacher in Karnataka has been suspended for sharing a derogatory social media post against Minister Vijayanand Kashappanavar. The Hindu reports that Anand Kembhavi, an assistant teacher at Karnataka Public School in Hiremasali village, Vijayapura district, allegedly posted a photo of the minister taking oath with the comment that the minister does not know how to speak Kannada properly. Villagers complained to the Indi Block Education Officer, who recommended action. Deputy Director Manjunath Guledagudd issued the suspension order for indiscipline and dereliction of duty, pending further inquiry.
