A Mayiladuthurai school Headmaster has posted a few opinions on his Facebook page which has been found to be shocking. Speaking about the state government, the headmaster Murali Ira, has said that the public should be communalised to raise guns against the government, in order to overthrow them. The same headmaster has also registered his opinion against compulsory vaccination on his page.

Replying to a Facebook user’s comment on how Collectors are under the control of the state government, Murali has said in Tamil, “The most powerful are the Corporates. If we get Corporate rights, we can even shake the governing power to its roots. But, the public are the most powerful of all. If they’re mobilised and are trained for a revolution, the governance will come back to the hands of the public. Power originates from Guns.”

Similarly, in another post he has questioned how vaccination can be made compulsory. Like many anti-vaxxers, he has also asked who will take responsibility if one is affected because of the vaccine. While, people have the right to freedom of expression, this headmaster’s opinion and perspective is alarming because he is a teacher, who will be teaching and influencing so many students in his life.

BJP media spokesperson, SG Suryah shared Murali’s opinions on Twitter and said, “A school’s headmaster is making comments asking the public to raise guns against the state government and also preaching against vaccination. It is scary to think what he will be teaching his students.” He then tagged the CM and Education Minister Anbil Mahesh and asked them if they will take action without any compromise.
