Stop stifling education, reinstate minority scholarships: SIO
New Delhi:The continuous attack on access to education of minorities shows the callous attitude of the present government, whose hollow rhetoric of ‘sabka sath, sabka vikas’ has been unmasked in the broad daylight. The rollback of pre-matric scholarship and Maulana Azad National Fellowship (MANF) shows the state’s blatant disregard for educational equity and washing its hands of key domains such as education. There’s an urgent need for condemnation and mobilization of conscientious citizens against this onslaught on education and the dignity of minorities.
