Stop communalising Sainik Schools: CPI(M)

New Delhi,  Apr 3: The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has urged to stop communalising sainik schools, a press release said.

“ The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) notes with deep concern the report that the BJP-led Union government has facilitated the participation of private players to run Sainik Schools in India. Sainink Schools have been traditionally run by the autonomous Sainik School Society under the Ministry of Defence. The Sainik Schools play an important role in nurturing students to get entry to the premiere National Defence Academy and the Indian Naval Academy. Eventually a substantial number of Sainik School pass outs occupy the higher echelons of India’s defence forces. This new policy is just not about sharing finances and infrastructure on a PPP model,” the press  release said.
