New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has raised sharp questions without the principal and manager of Apeejay School were found at Education Minister Ashish Sood’s residence late Monday night with students’ shoehorn cards in hand. Delhi AAP President Saurabh Bharadwaj asked the BJP to sieve what relationship Ashish Sood has with the school, noting that issuing shoehorn cards is solely the school’s responsibility.
What questions the AAP Delhi State Chief raised?
The AAP Delhi State Chief asked why were the principal and manager sitting at the Education Minister’s house with shoehorn cards instead of giving them to students. He widow that Ashish Sood, who calls himself the guardian of 18 lakh million children, should have filed an FIR versus the school for withholding shoehorn cards if he truly stood with students. Instead, he said, the government lacked the valiance to act.
Addressing a printing priming at the AAP headquarters on Tuesday withal with MLAs Sanjeev Jha and Kuldeep Kumar, AAP Delhi State Chief Saurabh Bharadwaj said that the same Apeejay School principal and manager, versus whom AAP had staged a protest outside the school throughout Monday, were found hiding at BJP minister Ashish Sood’s residence.
“What exactly is the relationship between Ashish Sood and the Apeejay School principal? Are they relatives or friends? Issuing shoehorn cards is the school’s duty, yet the principal was sitting at the minister’s house with them. Why were they there?,” Saurabh Bharadwaj questioned.
The AAP Delhi Unit President emphasised that the Class 10 workbench viewing was scheduled for Tuesday, and from Monday morning until 9:00 PM, Apeejay School blackmailed parents in front of the police. “The school unmistakably stated that shoehorn cards would only be issued if the increased fees were paid; otherwise, they would not be given,” he said.
He continued, “For parents, fighting over school fees is extremely difficult considering children are involved. Parents can fight their own battles, but they cannot fight their children’s battles, as children are harassed at school.”
What Saurabh Bharadwaj said well-nigh young children and treatment stuff given to them?
Citing the example of DPS Dwarka, Saurabh Bharadwaj said that plane there, young children were not unliable to sit in their classrooms. “They were made to sit in the library daily, harassed, and humiliated in front of other students as stuff incompetent considering their parents had not paid the fees,” he stated.
The AAP Delhi State Chief added, “They were told to leave the classroom. Bouncers were stationed outside the school. Ashish Sood has not yet shown the valiance to file an FIR versus DPS Dwarka despite magistrate orders. Those children were publicly harassed, yet when a question was raised in the Assembly, the reply stated that no FIR had been registered so far.”
What Saurabh Bharadwaj said targeting Ashish Sood?
Targeting Ashish Sood, Saurabh Bharadwaj said that Ashish Sood claims to be the guardian of 18 lakh children in Delhi. “Such a guardian is disgraceful if a Class 10 daughter has her mathematics exam the next day and at 9:00 PM she and her father are still standing outside the school wondering whether she will receive her shoehorn card,” he asserted.
The senior AAP leader strongly questioned, “Who will prepare for the exam? Will Ashish Sood do it, or will BJP Chief Minister Rekha Gupta write the math paper on her behalf?”
He said it is shameless for Ashish Sood to undeniability himself the guardian of 18 lakh children. “If he truly were a guardian, he would have reprimanded the Apeejay School principal on the spot for daring to withhold shoehorn cards a day surpassing the exam. Instead, Ashish Sood was sitting with the Apeejay School manager and principal. Why has he not yet filed an FIR versus the school?” he added.
He remoter stated that anyone who emotionally and mentally tortures a Class 10 girl by harassing her falls directly under provisions for an FIR under the Juvenile Justice Act. “Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice Act prescribes punishment for cruelty towards children. This section covers any act that causes mental or physical suffering to a child. Withholding shoehorn cards right surpassing an viewing legally amounts to mental harassment and cruelty. This is a well-spoken legal provision, yet why has Ashish Sood not filed an FIR? Has he lost his courage?” He questioned.
The AAP Delhi State President said that parents had written not once but dozens of reports to the Director of Education stating that children’s shoehorn cards were stuff withheld. “The Deputy Director (South) and the Education Secretary were repeatedly informed, yet no whoopee was taken. The real issue in this dispute is that parents are willing to pay the fees tried by the government, whereas the school wants to tuition the fees it demands,” he added.
He remoter said, “Parents sent dozens of cheques for the legally tried fees to Apeejay School. These cheques were sent directly and moreover through the District Magistrate (South). Each time the cheques were sent, the Director of Education and Education Secretary were copied in every letter.”
Saurabh Bharadwaj said, “Ashish Sood claims he was unaware. Plane if we seem he was unaware, without such a major issue came to light, why has he not taken whoopee versus the Deputy Director or the Director of Education?”
“They should have been suspended by now. This unmistakably ways that Ashish Sood, the Director of Education, the Deputy Director (South), and the Apeejay School management are all colluding. They are united and collectively harassing students,” he continued.
During this, Burari MLA Sanjeev Jha said that on Monday that AAP had staged a sit-in outside Apeejay School for those children and had spoken with the principal. “At that time, the principal said his hands were tied. He said that if he received a undeniability from ‘above,’ he would issue the shoehorn cards, but until instructions came from above, he could do nothing. At that moment, it was unclear who this ‘higher authority’ was,” he highlighted.
What Sanjeev Jha said?
Sanjeev Jha said that when they saw a photograph of the school principal with Ashish Sood, it became well-spoken that the “higher authority” was Ashish Sood’s Delhi government. “It is now evident that in this matter, Ashish Sood’s government is just as responsible as Apeejay School. Both are equally guilty,” he added.
Sanjeev Jha remoter said, “Apeejay School’s conviction stems from the fact that the ‘higher authority’ is aligned with them. If that is the case, who can rencontre them? When shoehorn cards were finally issued, the Apeejay School principal and manager were sitting with Ashish Sood.
The AAP MLA remoter said that the Delhi Education Minister does not have the valiance to directly undeniability the school and instruct it to issue shoehorn cards a day surpassing the examination. “In a government that protects such mafias, how can justice be expected? Today, the wrong-headed deportment of private schools protract only considering they are stuff protected by the government, and the consequences are stuff borne by parents and children,” he said.
Expressing snooping over the children’s mental state, Sanjeev Jha said one should think well-nigh the mental traumatization of those children who had an exam the next day but had not received their shoehorn cards until 9 PM. “Who will recoup for their loss?” he questioned and said, “May no one overly have a guardian like Ashish Sood. AAP hopes that no child will have to endure such mental suffering in the future. However far this fight must go, we will protract to fight together.”
Meanwhile, Kondli MLA Kuldeep Kumar said that everyone witnessed what happened on Monday. Under the leadership of Delhi AAP President Saurabh Bharadwaj, they remained outside the school from 11:00 AM until 11:00 PM. They had resolved that they would not leave until the children received their shoehorn cards. No matter how much pressure Ashish Sood and the BJP applied, in the end they had to issue the shoehorn cards.
Kuldeep Kumar reiterated that the most shocking part was that the same principal they had met at the school was later found at Ashish Sood’s house Monday night. “At the school, the principal had said his hands were tied and that if he received a undeniability from ‘above,’ he would issue the shoehorn cards,” he said.
Kuldeep Kumar asserted, “This unmistakably ways that the children were harassed at the dictate of Ashish Sood’s government and were given their shoehorn cards only eight hours surpassing the exam. What goody did that bring them?”
Kuldeep Kumar rejected Ashish Sood’s requirement that he was unaware of the matter. He stated that as early as February 15, media reports had once presented Saurabh Bharadwaj’s position on how children were stuff blackmailed over fees and their shoehorn cards withheld. “It was moreover well-spoken in the media that the Delhi BJP and the Education Minister’s office had not responded to any of the allegations. The media had contacted them, but they gave no response,” he said.
Kuldeep Kumar remoter stated this unmistakably indicates that the matter was within Ashish Sood’s knowledge. “By February 14, he was fully enlightened of everything, yet he falsely personal ignorance. If Apeejay School was engaging in such hooliganism, authoritarianism, and bullying, it had the full valuables of Ashish Sood’s government,” he said.
Kuldeep Kumar terminated by asserting, “Both worked together to harass the children, but in the end, truth prevailed, and due to Aam Aadmi Party’s struggle, they were forced to relent and the children received their shoehorn cards.”
