New Delhi [India], August 4 (ANI): Samajwadi Party (SP) Rajya Sabha MP Ram Gopal Yadav on Monday morning condemned the FIR against his party leader Farhad Alam for alleged politicisation of English alphabets in ‘PDA Paathshala’, and said that this was a result of “ignorant people” and those with “petty mindset” sitting in power.
Defending the lessons taught in the PDA Paathshala of Samajwadi Party, Yadav asked, “If we teach ‘A for Akhilesh’, ‘B for Babasaheb’, what is wrong with it?”
“When ignorant people and those with a petty mindset sit in power in Uttar Pradesh, such things happen every day. Bacche jisse kisi shabd ko sikh jaye, padhane ka vahi tarika sabse accha hota hai [The best method of teaching children is deploying ways through which children can learn (easily)]. They are not being taught in a government school. Those who have filed the FIR will have an FIR registered against them for misuse of their rights,” Yadav told ANI.
Earlier, Uttar Pradesh Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary came down heavily on SP for lessons being taught in its ‘PDA paathshala’ while accusing them of promoting nepotism, claiming that it remains fundamental to the party.
He alleged that the Samajwadi Party was trying to “tamper” with the future of children.
“When the SP was in power, they tampered with the future of children, and they are still doing it today. To fulfil their political interests, the SP can go to the extent of teaching children ‘A for ‘Akhilesh’ and D for ‘Dimple.’ Their school is only about nepotism. They cannot move beyond their family,” Chaudhary told ANI.
Intensifying his attack, the UP BJP chief claimed that nepotism was fundamental to the Samajwadi Party. He suggested that if SP were concerned about the children of the state, they would teach about great leaders who have worked for the country and society.
“If they were concerned about the children of the state, they would teach about great leaders, about those who worked for the country and society. They would have taught A for Abdul Kalam. Nepotism is fundamental to the Samajwadi Party, which is the basis of their trying to ground the definition of PDA,” Chaudhary said. (ANI)
