Indian Teacher In Doha Forced To Quit Over PM Modi Cartoon

An Indian teacher in Doha was forced to quit over PM Modi's caricature.



DOHA: An Indian teacher at a school in Qatar has reportedly resigned after posting an allegedly offensive cartoon of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on her Facebook account, according to local media.

The daily Peninsula said parents complained to the school's management about the post. The school reportedly conducted an internal investigation against the teacher who then quit, the paper added.


"I didn't create the caricature nor did I post it to insult Modi. I just used it to protest against what has been happening back home," the teacher, who was not named, said to the Peninsula, adding that she received threats on her Facebook page after her post. The Indian community was reportedly extremely critical of the cartoon as an insult to the Prime Minister.

The school management, when contacted by the Press Trust of India (PTI), said that the teacher was asked to quit since she used the school's name and logo with her Facebook post. "Being a teacher she shouldn't have posted such a derogatory caricature on her Facebook account. A teacher is a role model for the entire society," a senior official from school told PTI.

The Indian Embassy in Doha confirmed to PTI that it had received several complaints about the incident. "We have forwarded it to the school. It is a private school. We have no say in their matters. The decision to terminate the services of a teacher comes under school's authority," an embassy official told PTI over phone.

Modi did not demand his termination. And probably not even aware of this matter.

The school management also comes under the jurisdiction of Qatar Law. It is private school with probably Muslims in the majority in admin section

Unjustified, unless Shri Modi is a religious figure. Even Indian media caricatures him, news papers have a dedicated page for cartoons.
