Angry parents of 32 children from Children's Academy School in Malad reached the premises on Wednesday demanding an explanation from school authorities on why their wards had been suspended. The school authorities had suspended the children for being absent from school for five days. The parents said the children could not attend owing to Paryushan, an important religious obligation in the Jain community.
According to the school administration, this was disciplinary action taken against the students as per school regulations. However, the parents claim the action was taken without giving any notice or warning. The school in Malad, which has many Jain students, met the complaining parents who had come with a letter of their demands. After a meeting, however, though the action taken remains the same, the school core committee has assured parents that the issue will be discussed at another meeting to raise the number of permitted holidays in such cases.
