Somaiya Trust Management has issued a statement saying they have sought a written explanation from Principal Parveen Shaikh about the controversy surrounding her social media activity and other matters of concern. The development comes three days after Shaikh claimed that the school management had asked her to resign from the position of Principal from The Somaiya School in Vidyavihar.

Shaikh was reportedly asked to resign last week following an article published on a website which highlighted her pro-Hamas, anti-Hindu, and anti-Modi regime views on social media. The management, however, stated that the investigation into the matter was still ongoing. On Saturday, the management issued a short statement that read: “We have sought a written explanation from Ms Parveen Shaikh and await her response.”
