Assam: Government teacher embroiled in controversy over political role in Hailakandi

A controversy has erupted in Hailakandi district over the role of Ramakrishna Rabidas, the Headmaster of Santoshnagar Janmangal Lower Primary School. A local group has lodged a complaint against Rabidas, alleging that he has taken on a political role while serving as a government employee.

According to the allegations, Rabidas is currently serving as the Secretary of the Hailakandi District Congress Committee, a position that is allegedly in violation of government rules. Locals claim that he regularly participates in party meetings and programs at the District Congress office.

The local group has strongly condemned Rabidas' actions, stating that "government service is about serving the public, not a particular party." They have demanded an immediate investigation and action against the teacher.

"A government employee cannot be a member or office-bearer of a political organization," the group said in a statement. "Ramakrishna Rabidas, despite being a government school teacher, is actively involved in politics, which raises questions about the moral foundation of the education system."

The allegations have sparked discussions within the education community in Hailakandi district, with concerned citizens hoping for a swift investigation and fair action from the administration. The local group has brought this issue to the attention of the Hailakandi district administration, demanding that action be taken against Rabidas.
