SAD strongly condemns police deployment in schools: Dr. Daljit Singh Cheema

SAD strongly condemns police deployment in schools: Dr. Daljit Singh Cheema The Shiromani Akali Dal strongly condemned  the decision of State government to deploy heavy police force inside schools for the purpose of implementations of  “Padho Punjab Padhao Punjab ” programme.  This has vitiated the pious and peaceful environment of the schools and created fear psychosis among the minds of innocent children. In addition, the government is insulting the teachers in the presence of their students. This action is highly shameful and a disgrace for the whole society.
