BJP explains why Karnataka govt told schools not to give playground for private events
The BJP has objected to a recent reminder issued by the Department of School Education asking all schools not to spare their playgrounds, premises for any private programmes and to allow only academic activities on the grounds and premises. The reminder issued by the Dakshina Kannada Deputy Director of the department on July 16 said that the heads of government, government aided private and private schools will be held responsible if they permitted non-academic programmes in their premises and playgrounds. Reacting to the reminder, Mangaluru City South MLA D. Vedavyasa Kamath said in a statement that it was an attempt by the Congress government to curb celebration of Hindu festivals such as Ganeshotsava, Sri Krishnasthami and Saraswathi Pooja which are in the offing. Mr. Kamath said that many people of the Hindu community have donated their private land, and temple land for education institutes.
