Thiruvananthapuram: Keralam Chief Minister VD Satheesan on Sunday directed authorities to revoke the suspension of a school principal who was suspended over a Facebook post allegedly insulting the Chief Minister.

According to the Chief Minister's Office (CMO), S Javad, Principal of Attingal Model Higher Secondary School, was suspended by the Director of General Education on Friday. Neither the Chief Minister nor his office had lodged a complaint regarding the matter. The suspension was initiated based on a complaint received from an external party.

The action against the principal came just two days before his retirement. Taking this circumstance into consideration, the Chief Minister instructed officials to withdraw the suspension order.

Meanwhile, on Friday, Keralam Chief Minister VD Satheesan termed the Governor Rajendra Arlekar's address to the 16th State Legislative Assembly as a "bold roadmap for a new era of Keralam", saying it blends infrastructure push with welfare initiatives.
