New Delhi, January 23
Several schools across Delhi received an email allegedly from the banned pro-Khalistan group, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), urging them to suspend participation in Republic Day celebrations.
The purported email read, “SFJ is taking decisive action to prevent President Murmu from unfurling the Tiranga as a protest against the Indian Constitution, which erases identity and perpetuates systemic oppression”.
Further mentioning “the high risk of violence and state retaliation”, the email sender instructed Delhi’s schools to suspend participation in the Republic Day celebration and refrain from sending “students or staff to any R-Day events.”
Ensure families are informed to keep their children at home on January 26. Participation in Republic Day events poses a grave threat to the safety of students and staff. It is your responsibility to prioritise their well-being on symbolic involvement in state-sponsored celebrations. Delhi has been warned. Stay Home, Stay Safe,” the email further read.
The Delhi Police stated that thr authenticity of the emails is being verified.
Recently, the Delhi Police apprehended a 16-year-old student of a private school who was reportedly connected to a group which had allegedly been sending bomb threats via email to several schools for many months.
