The post on Gen. Rawat that Sabbah shared attracted widespread criticism against the not-for-profit English-medium school she and her mother founded in 2009 in her native village, accessible only after a trek of three-four hours through mountainous terrain that remains snowed out in winter. Several people called out the school and demanded its closure.

The school management clarified that “a recent distasteful media post during the rounds has nothing to do with the school and that the said person has acted in their individual capacity after their tenure with the school ended”. Sabbah Haji had completed her notice period with the school at the end of November 2021 just before this incident occurred.

She had shared the post, not made such remarks herself”. However, sharing objectionable social media posts is equally damaging though whether or not punishable under law requires legal scrutiny.
