Hyderabad: Students observing Ayyappa Deeksha denied entry into school
“When students in nearby private schools including Jonson School, Delhi Public School or even the Malla Reddy School have no objections with students observing Ayyapa Deeksha, then why are you having an issue?” the family argued with the school authorities.
On information, the Nacharam police reached the school and pacified the parents.
Later, speaking to the media, parents urged the education department to take stern action against the school management for hurting the sentiments of the students.
