Party State Secretary K. Balakrishnan asks people of the State to pay no heed to the BJP’s stand on the issue
The State Secretary of Communist Party of India (Marxist) K. Balakrishnan affirmed the party’s solidarity with the management and staff of the school, where a Class XII girl who died by suicide recently had studied, by calling on them on Friday.
Talking to reporters here on Friday, he said the school management and staff had dedicated their lives to providing education to the poor and downtrodden for over 150 years and thousands of children have been enlightened by their service.
As the politicisation of the girl’s death by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had caused immense stress on the teaching and non-teaching faculty, he expressed apprehensions that it could prevent children of the region from getting quality education.
