Nation at 9: #Gurutsav Pits Bharat vs India
- 5 years ago
The Centre's move to celebrate Teacher's Day as 'Guru Utsav' and the planned interaction of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi with school children on that day have kicked up a controversy with opposition Congress and others, including BJP allies MDMK and PMK, slamming the government.
However, HRD Minister Smriti Irani described the opposition as "regrettable" and made it clear that the students' participation in the interaction is "voluntary". Congress leader Manish Tewari termed the renaming of the day merely a "packaging" exercise and said the government is trying to "change packaging and labelling and then tryign to pass them off as innovative initiatives".
