Government became contractor. Incident of BJP government.
Government became contractor. Incident of BJP government.
Students have protested in Haridwar holding placards like let
Ganga flow in Haridwar, let the college remain government, let education remain
in government hands, do not privatize it, imparting education is government's
responsibility etc. Haridwar is situated in Uttaranchal state and there is BJP
government in Uttaranchal. Here these medical students have protested against
the sudden handing over of government medical college to private hands.
The news is that this college of Haridwar is being given to a
trust named Sharda. This trust has been in news earlier also. Knowledgeable
people are looking at it from the point of view of a big scam. That is, this
college has been built on government expenses. It has come to light that about
one and a half thousand crore rupees of public money has been spent in this.
The college was first built on government expenses and
students were admitted in the name of government college and now the government
is going to make this college private. If we see, then this BJP government of
Uttaranchal has become a contractor due to this incident. Now the government
will build a college, enroll students in it and then sell it to private people.
This is not the work of the government, which this BJP government is doing.
On this, the students have clearly said that we had taken admission in a government college and will get the degree of a government college only. We do not want a private tag on our degree. For this, we will protest wherever and however much we have to. We have passed the medical admission exam with so much hard work and after that get a degree from a private college, this is completely wrong.
