A meeting of Members of Parliament called on Thursday by Human Resource Development Prakash Javadekar to gather suggestions on the New Education Policy, 2016, was marred by low attendance and allegations by Opposition MPs that NEP was another ruse to push “RSS agenda”
One of the participants told News18 that most opposition parties especially the Congress and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) told the minister that all stakeholders would have to be called for meetings and that "RSS Agenda in education cannot be pushed."
TMC demanded that “other educational institutions like Ramakrishna Mission and Christian school managements would have to be called for any discussion on NEP, while Congress "insisted on quality, autonomy and capacity building."
The TSR Subramanian Committee submitted its recommendations for the new policy on education 2016 in June. The first education policy was made in 1986 and revised in 1992..
The Committee has said that the larger national obligations to meet the rights of economic weaker sections should extend to all institutions including minority (religious and linguistic) institutions.
Javadekar has tried to allay the fears of minorities saying "Constitutional provisions will not be tinkered with."
