• 31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: If this matter is not addressed effectively, it might create religious animosity, which we cannot afford as a country. I, therefore, call upon the necessary Government institutions to take punitive action against the said teacher, which will serve as a warning to weed off such disgraceful behaviour from other teachers and individuals.
