Modi govt diffused education by malicious controversies: Ahmad

Congress today took a jibe at the Narendra Modi government saying diffusion of education through "myopic" and "malicious" controversies have been the hallmarks of it in one year of power.
"Rather than solidifying the well established educational structure of India, HRD ministry under Smriti Irani has spent more time demolishing institutions of prestige and downsizing highly motivated educationists," party's national spokesperson Shakeel Ahmad said here in a press conference.
"Intentionally induced 'institutional paralysis' and diffusion of education through myopic, malicious and myriad controversies have been the hallmarks of one year of Modi government," he added.
The Congress General Secretary also slammed Irani for "politically motivated" appointments at prominent capacities in education sector saying that under-qualified Sangh Pariwar loyalists have been made the heads of premier institutions in Modi government.

"HRD Minister and masters in Sangh pariwar are playing with the future of our young generation. The under-qualified who used to write articles in RSS mouthpiece- Panchjanya and Orgniser - have been appointed as head of premier educational institutions in the country," he said.
All these prove that the destruction of education sector has started in the first year of Modi regime. No government in the history has harmed the country like they did, he added.

Criticising Prime Minster Narendra Modi for his remarks during recent foreign trips, the Congress leader said it is unfortunate that a Prime Minister has insulted his country on foreign soil.

"PM goes out of the country as the representative of India, not as a political leader or representative of any political party. It is very shameful that the PM is insulting our nation on foreign soil," he said.
"In Shanghai and Korea he said people felt they have committed sin of being born in India. Modi should have been asked what sin he had committed that he took birth before 2014," he said.
