Sabha President, Sarju Prasad

The largest Hindu denomination in the country, Sanatan Dharm Pratinidhi Sabha of Fiji says they would prefer all Sanatan followers to be the heads of Sanatan run schools.

Sabha President Sarju Prasad says while they do not have issues with the government’s Open Merit Recruitment System, they want people of their own faith heading their schools and majority of teachers in their schools to also be Sanatan followers.   

Prasad made this clear when questioned by Legend FM News about the Open Merit Recruitment System.
