Rajasthan's education department had recently issued an order to Mahatma Gandhi Government School (RAC Battalion), Jaipur, to suspend classes offering Urdu as the third language and introduce it as an option.

A few days later, a government senior secondary school in Bikaner received a similar communication to replace the language.

Starting the tournament as clear favourites, Paris Olympics bronze-medallists India haven't disappointed so far, beating hosts China 3-0, Japan 5-1, trouncing Malaysia 8-1 before registering a 3-1 victory against Korea in their last match.

These two teams are meeting for the first time in the tournament in pool stage.

Amid growing resentment against the twin orders, a fresh controversy broke out on Monday after Minister of State for Home Jawahar Singh Bedham purportedly said that the previous government removed Sanskrit teachers and posted Urdu teachers in their place.

"The previous (Congress) government removed Sanskrit teachers and posted Urdu teachers in their place. Now, we don't know Urdu and no one even studies that subject, which is why we will discontinue the posts of Urdu teachers and provide the kind of education that people want here," Bedham said during an event held in Bharatpur on Monday which circulated in the social circles.

Rajasthan's Urdu Teachers' Association termed the minister's remarks baseless and irresponsible. "It is also untrue that the previous Congress government appointed Urdu teachers replacing Sanskrit teachers,jljl33" said Urdu Teachers' Association president Amin Kayamkhani.

Asked about the government's decision, School Education Minister Madan Dilawar denied talking to the reporters. However, Board of Secondary Education Director Ashish Modi said it is not a blanket order for all schools.

"It is not a blanket order. Except for one student, nobody studies Urdu as the third language in a government school at Napasar in Bikaner. This is the reason why it was discontinued," he said. The order to suspend Urdu classes in Mahatma Gandhi Government School (RAC Battalion), Jaipur was issued by the district education officer on the directions of Dilawar's special assistant.

"The minister has ordered the creation of Sanskrit teachers' posts and close down Urdu (classes). Therefore, make sure to send the complete proposal for opening Sanskrit as a third language in your school to this office," the order states. Objecting to the decision, Congress MLA Rafeek Khan wrote a letter to Dilawar.

"Presentlyssbet77, 127 students are studying Urdu as the third language in the school. Closing Urdu classes would adversely affect the students," he said.
