According to the India Today report, one of the parents questioned Nafeesa on her supporting Pakistan, to which she replied in affirmation. The screengrab spread quickly and eventually reached the school management. The officials resorted to firing Nafeesa and breaking the news to her through a termination letter. The letter stated that on the decision of the Sojatia Charitable Trust, the body funding the school, “Nafeesa Attari is immediately terminated from Neerja Modi School”.
A local news channel, Udaipur News, shared Nafeesa’s statements regarding the entire incident. In the video, she explained that she is not a Pakistan supporter and the status she uploaded was in regards to a friendly bet she placed within her house. “I am an Indian, and I love India as much as anybody else. It is a mistake which I realized later and deleted the status,” she said. Explaining the context of the message, Nafeesa said that she took the message as a joke because of the emoji attached at the end of the message and replied accordingly.
