Politicians, celebrities, citizens demand arrest of teacher Tripta Tyagi for abusing a Muslim child

PoliticsPoliticians, celebrities, citizens demand arrest of teacher Tripta Tyagi for abusing a Muslim child

Outrage stirs the nation on viewing the viral video of a teacher in Muzzafarpur, Uttar Pradesh targeting an 8-year-old child because he was a Muslim.

In the video, the lady, Tripta Tyagi, could be seen instructing students to slap their ‘Muslim’ classmates one by one. The victim student can be seen standing and crying, whereas other students continue to slap him, apparently they hit him for an hour.  A man is heard sitting next to the teacher and laughing.  Tripta Tyagi is the teacher and owner of Neha Public School in Muzzafarpur, UP.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi demanded the arrest of the teacher and tweeted, “Sowing the poison of discrimination in the minds of innocent children, turning a holy place like school into a marketplace of hatred – nothing worse a teacher can do for the country.

This is the same kerosene spread by the BJP which has set every corner of India on fire.

Children are the future of India – do not hate them, we all have to teach love together.”

Indian Youth Congress tweeted, “We are deeply disturbed by the viral video of a teacher in Muzaffarnagar who instilled communal hatred among her students and made them harm a child belonging to a minority community.

This is a grave violation of human rights and dignity, and a shameful act of bigotry and violence.

We strongly condemn this atrocity and demand strict action against the teacher and the school. #StopHate

Taking note of the matter, Priyanka Kanoongo, the chairperson of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights said that the body has issued instructions for the action.

“We received information that in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar, an incident has been reported where a teacher is asking children to beat a child. Taking cognizance, instructions are being issued for action,” said Priyanka Kanoongo, reported IE.

She also requested people to not share the video of the child. She asked people to give information about such incidents by email. Sharing videos on social media will make them a part of the crime by revealing the identity of the children.

Lashing out at the Yogi government, characteristic of running bulldozers on Muslim houses, Congress leader Supriya Srinate asks, “When will the bulldozer run on Neha’s school?

Supriya Shrinate started by saying that the viral video of the child made her extremely angry due to the unfairness and cruelty depicted in it.  She asked questions to the government on the incident in Muzaffarnagar asking why a child sent to study in school is tortured this way.  Supriya asks who gave the teacher the right to say that the child is a Muslim and to hit him when the child on being beaten by all his classmates is crying.  This video made her angry because this child could be anyone’s child.  What fault of it was of his?  Where did this poison come from?  In schools, children need to play together as friends, instead, the teacher makes him stand alone and gets other children to beat him.  While the father of the child is not willing to file an FIR, Supriya Shrinate resolutely reminds Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath that he is not only the CM of Hindus but also the CM of that 8-year-old child.  She reiterates that Tripta Tyagi should be in jail.  She reminded the BJP that while they are teaching the youth in India to pick up guns and knives, the BJP politicians’ own children are studying in foreign countries with the best education, not using weapons, while in India are teaching the children to become violent and communal.

A netizen tweeted, “Bisht’ has created weapons of Muslim hatred, which will be spread across the country #YogiKaNayaUP A school in #Muzaffarnagar, a student was physically assaulted by classmates at the insistence of an insane teacher #TriptaTyagi based on his Muslim identity.”

Mahua Moitra from the TMC said in a video while condemning the act of 7-year-olds instructed to hit another 7-year-old that this country has become a hotbed of religious animosity where educational institutions in this country are churning out hate rather than any sort of learning where BJP stands out being in the forefront of this religious divide, She went on to say that it is shameful that a child of 7 years of age who goes to school expecting to learn, expecting to be in a protected environment of safety, who expects love and learning from his teacher is subjected to this kind of hate where it is shameful that other children who may not be Muslim are taught to victimize and pounce upon another child of their own age who just happens to be Muslim.  Mahua concluded that this was shameful beyond belief and we feel sorry for our country and said she hopes that the strictest action is taken against this teacher and said, “We condemn this in the strongest possible terms.”

Bittu Sharma asked, “Imagine if her name was Tazia Khan instead of #TriptaTyagi ??? And what if the child was a Hindu? By now the bulldozer would have reached her home.”

In the meantime, the shocked child is heard on video saying, “I will never go back to that school” -traumatized 8-year-old victim of the #UPViralVideo & his heartbroken mother speak to @journo_harshit

The victim child told #TriptaTyagi that he was beaten up for 1 hour. What kind of hatred these Sanghis have filled?
#ArrestTriptaTyagi

Poonam Joshi Journalist shared the video of the teacher calling students to beat the child.
@PoonamJoshi_”We were taught that teachers have a status bigger than parents. But what if one gets a teacher who can’t even be compared to a monster!!
In Muzaffarnagar, this teacher #TriptaTyagi is making other kids slap this child only because he is Muslim!
I hope her own children disown her for doing this.
She must be terminated from this school and no other school should ever employ her. Pathetic person.
#IndianMuslims #Islamophobia

Renowned cartoonist Satish Acharya tweeted, sharing his latest cartoon, “My Hinduism teaches me to love.
@moliticsindia
cartoon. #TriptaTyagi

We wish it happened as Satish Acharya depicted, but in reality, the children were taught to hate in that classroom and a child will never feel safe and protected within the school walls again.
