NEW DELHI – A woman teacher of a private school in the Indian state of Rajasthan was terminated from service after she cheered for Pakistan during Sunday's match against India in the T20 World Cup.
The Kashmir Media Service said quoting sources that action was taken after teacher Nafisa Attari shared a status on the instant messaging application WhatsApp, expressing her joy over Pakistan’s historic win in the high octane clash with India.
Following the ‘pro-Pakistan' statuses, a parent approached Attari and asked her if she supports the neighbouring country and she said yes.
Later, screenshots of Nafisa's statuses were made viral on social media. “Jeet Gaye, we won,” she wrote while sharing pictures of Pakistani players.
In consequence, the administration of Neerja Modi School terminated her services, depicting extremism in the so-called ‘secular’ state.
