Smriti Irani’s incompetence destroying higher education institutions: Congress

Congress on Wednesday raised question mark over the ‘competence’ of HRD Minister Smriti Irani as it accusing her of ‘interfering with autonomy of higher education institutions.

“The absolute incompetence of the HRD Minister is destroying institutions that have been nurtured over decades. The morale of India’s education sector is plummeting,” party spokesperson Rajeev Gowda said and asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to step in and take appropriate action to put the HRD Ministry back on track.
