Karnataka Suspends Two Teachers for Participating in RSS Marches Amid Political Criticism
Two government school teachers in Karnataka's Yadgir district, Gururaj Joshi and Anna Saheb Deshmukh, were suspended for participating in Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) marches held in October 2025. The Education Department cited violations of Karnataka Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, describing their actions as dereliction of duty. The suspensions followed a complaint by the Ambedkar Swabhimani Sene and an inquiry ordered by the state government. BJP leaders criticized the move as politically motivated, while the government maintained it was a disciplinary action under service rules.
