While the entire country celebrated the 69th Independence Day on 15th August, a Headmaster of a government school in Khammam decided to be different. MD Sharif, the Headmaster at Surdepalli Government High School in Khammam district, refused to hoist the national flag and even backed off from saluting the tricolor.
On the morning of 15th August, MD Sharif directed the school’s in-charge Headmistress Prameela Rani to hoist the flag. Objecting to this, the villagers insisted that the HM should do the honours. Refusing the villagers’ requests, Sharif said that hoisting the flag and saluting to it are against the Holy Quran.
When the villagers kept on insisting the HM, he told them he will rather resign to his job than go against his beliefs and even left from the celebrations midway. The angry villagers told the media that Sharif has been working in the school for the last five years and that he always took leave on 15th August and 26th January to not attend the mandatory flag hoisting.
