A local Samajwadi Party leader was booked in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur for allegedly teaching children “politicised alphabet" in a “PDA Pathshala", officials said.

According to SP City Vyom Bindal, a complaint was filed by a resident of the Kallarpur Gurjar village – Main Singh – who alleged that SP leader Farhad Alam Gada taught children “A for Akhilesh", “B for Babasaheb", “D for Dimple", and “M for Mulayam Singh Yadav".

The complainant described the lessons as “politicised alphabets" at a “PDA Pathshala".

The incident came to the fore after a purported video of the class, which was recorded at Gada’s home in Ramnagar, was posted on social media and went viral.

The children appearing in the video were from a private school and were seen in their uniforms.

Reacting to the development, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav posted on X, “Even the British did not file an FIR for studying. The anti-education face of the BJP has now been exposed to the public. Now the BJP will be gone forever. Condemnable."

In his defence, Farhad Gada had earlier said that the “PDA Pathshala" was not just for teaching the basics like the ABCs but also to educate children about the “great figures of Samajwadi ideology." He had also mentioned plans to open similar schools throughout the district.
