Wrong to close down educational institutions at a stretch: Soz

Srinagar, Nov 27: Former Union Minister Prof Saifuddin Soz today said that it is wrong for the J&K administration to close down all educational institutions for three months, at a stretch

“Some parents of the students in J&K must have wanted the administration to decide about vacations, but it could not be their demand to close down schools for three months, at a stretch,”he said in a statement.

Soz added that the J&K administration thought it feasible to allow a three month vacation. It has only served a proof that the administration feels fatigued and it does not care for what is public welfare, he said.

“This never happened under any administration in the state, earlier. Since the present day administration wants peace of a graveyard in the state, it felt strong enough to close down educational institutions for three months, at a stretch,” the former union minister said.
