Withdraw the HRD Order

December 15, 2014



Press Statement



The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:



Withdraw the HRD Order



The Human Resources Development Ministry has taken yet another offensive and
unjustifiable decision to ask CBSE and other government-run schools to
observe "good governance day" on Christmas day, December 25.  Already the
Navodaya schools' management have decided that the schools will remain open
on December 24 and 25.



This is a crude interference in the schedule of schools which go on
Christmas vacation from December 24 and is an assault on the religious right
of the Christian community.



The Polit Bureau demands the withdrawal of this communally motivated
instruction.  If the government wants to observe "good governance day" on
December 25, it should do so without  involving the schools.
