Saurabh Bhardwaj attacked BJP
At the same time, Aam Aadmi Party President and former Delhi Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj also targeted the BJP government on this issue. He said that the BJP government is completely silent in this matter. He reminded that the parents of DPS Dwarka had to once again go to the door of the High Court. Saurabh said that earlier also he had told how deep the relationship of the Private School Association is with the BJP and the Chief Minister. His statement adds political color to this matter.
What is the claim in the petition of the parents?
According to the news, the parents of 32 students of DPS Dwarka have approached the High Court. They claim that the school has expelled their children for not paying the increased fees. The petition filed on behalf of the parents through advocate Manoj Kumar Sharma states that the school has removed the names of their children from the school roll, while the Delhi High Court had already ordered that schools cannot misbehave or harass students for not paying fees. After this petition, the matter is now before the court and questions have been raised on the action of the school administration.
