Right To Edu Act 2009 prohibits govt schools against charging fee for Vidyalaya Vikas Nidhi (VVN) from the school children below 14 years. This receipt suggests the Act is being violated by AMU-maintained schools. @PMOIndia@EduMinOfIndia@dpradhanbjp@IndiaCAG@ugc_india

@ankushpal2001@HimalSouthasian BTW, 22 yrs ago, I had written a letter to editor, "Left Will Not Confront BJP" published in the Economic and Political Weekly (EPW), Sept 25, 2004 (Vol. 39, Issue No. 39).

My query is, these narrations don't explain why Muslim subalterns, while getting angry with Mamta, would prefer BJP?

This is pathetic that now, after 12 days, you are asking for details, as if the complaint ticket number is of no help to you?
Your WhatsApp no is a stupid A.I. which keeps sickeningly repeating to say 'Hi'. Very disgusting!
