New Delhi: Union Minister of State for Education Sukanta Majumdar on Tuesday called Tamil Nadu government “hypocrite” and accused it of refusing to implement new National Education Policy 2020 to create a political agenda as elections are approaching in the state.
He told reporters outside Parliament, Majumdar said the claims of any differential treatment with Tamil Nadu are false.
They are just trying to create a political agenda by refusing to implement the NEP and three-language formula, he said, targeting the M K Stalin government. “They are hypocrites.”
The row over implementing the NEP in Tamil Nadu echoed in Parliament on Monday as well.
Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned for about 30 minutes after DMK members protested over Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s remarks that the state government was “dishonest” on the issue of implementing the PM Schools for Rising India (PM SHRI) scheme.
