Manish Sisodia writes letter from Tihar Jail, slams BJP’s ‘Prison Politics’

Live Mint  

Manish Sisodia, the former deputy chief minister of Delhi, has written a letter from Tihar Jail, questioning why education has been sidelined in India despite its critical importance. He stated that if politics had devoted its resources and energy towards education, every child in the country would have had access to quality schools like developed countries. Sisodia compared the politics of jail to the politics of education, stating that it is easier to silence dissent by imprisoning critics than to establish quality educational institutions for all children in the country. He noted that the politics of education empowers the nation, not the individual leader, and if every child receives education and becomes a responsible citizen, the country will progress.
