Chennai, July 7: Claiming that the Centre and the state government are dividing students along communal lines by providing educational assistance only to the students belonging to minorities, the BJP on Wednesday demanded that aid be provided to economically backward Hindu students too.
“Differentiating students on the basis of religion while extending educational assistance is unjustifiable,” state party president Pon Radhakrishnan said at a large rally organised here by the saffron party to demand that aid be extended to poor Hindu students. “The late Kamaraj, who introduced free education, had not discriminated on the basis of religion.” Several speakers also urged the government to treat all deserving students equally.
