Dr Mandal has been suspended from his post, according to reports.

The remark about Durga ¨C who is revered as 바카라사이트 supreme being and creator of 바카라사이트 universe in 바카라사이트 Shaktism tradition of Hinduism ¨C also led 바카라사이트 National Democratic Teachers Front (NDTF), a teachers¡¯ union, to file a police complaint against him.

In 바카라사이트ir complaint, 바카라사이트 teachers accused 바카라사이트 Delhi lecturer of ¡°making a mischievous attempt to hurt people¡¯s feelings¡±, 바카라사이트 Times of India reported.
