Arvind Kejriwal had said Punjab government should immediately agree to demands of the teachers so that they can call off their strike
In top gear of campaigning for the upcoming Punjab Assembly election, Aam Aadmi Party convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will be travelling to Mohali on Saturday to reach out to unemployed teachers who have been protesting atop an overhead water tank.
A statement issued by the party headquarters said that during his recent two-day visit to Punjab, Mr Kejriwal had given 8 guarantees to teachers and promised sweeping reforms in the state's education sector if the party is voted to power.
Throwing a challenge to Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, Mr Kejriwal had said the state government should immediately agree to demands of the teachers so that they can call off their strike, get off the tanks and return to their homes.
Mr Kejriwal had also warned the Charanjit Singh Channi-led government that if it did not address the issue of the struggling teachers immediately, he would be compelled to join the dharna.
