New Delhi:
India's child rights panel has asked the Delhi government to probe
and report to it on a complaint that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
leaders were distributing uniforms and satchels to students of
schools run by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
"The complaint is self-explanatory which may kindly be perused,"
said National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR)
member secretary Lov Verma while issuing a notice to Delhi Chief
Secretary P.K. Tripathi.
"After perusing the complaint, the commission has taken cognizance
of the matter and directed that the matter be referred to you (Tripathi)
for investigation and report to the commission," said Verma on a
compliant filed by an advocate, Ashok Agarwal, earlier this month.
"You are accordingly requested to get the matter investigated and
take further necessary action. A factual report, along with
authenticated copies of the relevant documents, be sent to the
commission within 15 days of issue of this letter," he said. The
order issued Monday was only made available Friday.
Agarwal, in his complaint, said that by their act the BJP leaders
are lowering the dignity of the children and they are also
violating orders of the Delhi government's directorate of
education.
Taking note of the complaint, the commission also asked the Delhi
government to ensure that all MCD schools comply with the
directorate's orders of Feb 28, 2002, that banned the practice of
free distribution of items to the students in full public view and
in presence of outside officers and giving it publicity.
"Also ensure that children of the MCD schools are not taught in a
manner which may affect their psychological development
adversely," the NCPCR said in its order.
