00:00Sonia Gandhi has given out a big remark on the new education policy that has

00:04primarily been a debate remember between the southern states specially led by

00:08Tamil Nadu and government at the center but more than DMK and the BJP the new

00:14policy is indifferent to the education of youth say Sonia Gandhi in many ways

00:20leading the alliance she has come forth to give out a statement and remember

00:29statements in the public this time Sonia Gandhi says three C's haunt

00:34education today centralization commercialization communalization three

00:41C's that Sonia Gandhi is quoting haunt the education system today and of course

00:46she's targeting government at the center over it she's saying the

00:48commercialization and outsourcing of investment in education to private

00:52sector communalization of the textbooks and curriculum and the introduction of

00:57high-profile education policy has hidden the reality of a government

01:00profoundly indifferent to education of India's children and you huge Mishra

01:06joins me on the phone line for this abuse that's a very strong remark I

01:10would say especially with the three C's as a metaphor that she's brought in

01:14tell us more about what is this and in many ways a boost to DMK government as

01:21well certainly the last two days we have seen how the various oppositional

01:25political parties is primarily DMK they have opposed the national education

01:29policy and now what we are now seeing is that Sonia Gandhi who is also the top

01:36most leader of opposition has hired out the government saying that the three

01:39point agenda of the government of the day is leading to damaging the

01:44consequences in the domain of education she is using the words like

01:50centralization and communalization and a commercialization as far as these

01:55three C's are concerned and I will have to see how the DMK is going to respond to this big attack

02:05centralization has been the hallmark of this government functioning of last 11

02:08years but its most damaging consequences have been in the domain of education and

02:13as far as the commercialization attack is concerned she is saying that the

02:16Narendra Modi government is commercializing the education system and

02:23it has been happening in the land side in full compliance with NEP and as far

02:27as the communalization is concerned on that front she thinks that the Indian

02:31government's thrust is on the communalization and the fulfillment of

02:34long-standing project of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh so that's a big

02:39attack coming in that the agenda of RSS is being imposed on the

02:43people at the same time she's saying that the government will have to look

02:47into all these three aspects we'll have to see how the DDP is going to respond to this attack
