Modi Govt Accused of Assault on Public Education
Sandeep Dikshit, a leader in the Congress party, said that the Modi government is attacking public schools and colleges.
He pointed to Delhi University, a big school in India, as an example.
Students at Delhi University are on a hunger strike, meaning they are not eating, to show they are unhappy.
The strike started after the university warned students not to protest at a place called Jantar Mantar.
Dikshit says the Congress party supports the students and wants to help them.
Sandeep Dikshit claims Modi government is assaulting public education nationwide.
He cites Delhi University, NEET, and Jantar Mantar as examples of silencing dissent.
NSUI students are on a fourth day of an indefinite hunger strike at Delhi University.
The strike began after an advisory against demonstrations at Jantar Mantar and a university post on X.
Dikshit says Congress stands firmly with the students and civil society groups.
