What is this outrage against kids being asked to attend the modi speech & learn it? We had that every year at my school for I-day.

However, despite all the controversy schools have made all arrangements to make sure students get to watch the speech. According to PTI reports, preparations are underway at the schools run by all the three BJP-led municipal corporations in New Delhi for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech on the Teacher’s Day, civic officials said today. North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC), which has over 750 schools under its jurisdiction, said instructions are being followed as per the Delhi government guidelines for the day. Meanwhile, the Samajwadi Party government in Uttar Pradesh has also made elaborate arrangements to ensure that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech reaches lakhs of students in the state this Teachers’ Day. The UP secondary education department has issued detailed instructions asking for the necessary arrangements to be made for the live telecast of the speech, which has come under attack in some Opposition quarters amid a clarification from the Centre that the exercise involving students was voluntary.
