<b>Christian school in Bhopal apologises for 'insulting' Kabir </b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->A Christian school has tendered a written apology to the state education department for inadvertently insulting poet Kabir in the school's annual magazine.
However, there is no end to the school's troubles in sight as an unknown Hindu organisation has announced that it would move court to initiate criminal proceedings against the school because it was not satisfied with the apology.

Spokesperson of the Catholic Church Fr Anand Muttungal said, "It was unfortunate that the ruling party was supporting a selfish parent whose child could not clear the examination."
Fr Muttungal alleged that one parent was pressurising the school to promote his child and when he did not succeed he approached the organisation for raking up an issue that was settled with the written apology and punitive action against the teacher found responsible for the mistake
