Manish Sisodia attacks Harsh Vardhan for trying to stop PTM in Delhi government schools

New Delhi : Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Wednesday hit out at Union Minister Harsh Vardhan for “writing” to L-G Anil Baijal to “cancel a parent-teacher meeting” in Delhi government schools, saying he should be ashamed of it.

According to reports, Vardhan has written to the Lieutenant Governor over a parent-teacher meeting scheduled in Delhi government schools for January 4.

“Harsh Vardhan ji, how did you get the courage to write a letter to the L-G to cancel the parent-teacher meeting of Delhi government schools? You should be ashamed,” Sisodia said while interacting with reporters.

He said the meeting would take place and the Aam Aadmi Party would not let the BJP cancel it.

“You (BJP) think you can stop it. It is the decision of the education department of the Delhi government; you would not be able to stop it. The basic character of the BJP, which is against education, gets shown again and again,” he said.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also took to Twitter expressing his dismay over the issue.

“Why do these people want to cancel PTM? In PTM, parents get an opportunity to discuss their children’s progress with teachers. Many parents eagerly wait for the PTM. The PTM will be on time. I will also go to one of the schools tomorrow to get parents’ feedback,” he said.
