This incident created hatred among people.
The teacher-Shadab Khanam alleged that she aimed to explain the noun to the children in an easy way. For this, she Googled and found some small examples. She did not see whether it was regarding Pakistan, China, or America. Later, when she was acknowledged of people being hurt, she immediately changed it.
The Manager of GN Public School- Goraksh Pratap Singh alleged that hardly did the matter came to his notice when he questioned the teacher for the same. She admitted that she had committed a mistake. A notice has been sent to her and further action will be taken after clarification.
