Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi must clarify whether he is supporting the affected parents or the private schools that are refusing to implement the government's order on Justice Govindarajan Committee recommendations on private school fee structure, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has demanded.
Accusing the Chief Minister of siding with the private schools, CPI (M) State secretary G. Ramakrishnan said, “[Going by his] silence on the issue, it seems he is supporting the private schools.”
Asked whether the party would implead itself in the school fee structure case in the High Court, he said the Students' Federation of India and another organisation had filed petitions seeking to implead themselves in the case. The High Court had stayed a government order. So it was for the government to file an appeal get the stay order vacated.
Recalling the swift action by government in getting the High Court order reversed within a few hours in a case filed by TASMAC employees, he wondered why the government was remaining silent even a week after the High Court gave interim stay on the implementation of the Govindarajan Committee report. Mr. Ramakrishan wanted the government to extend the deadline for giving house site pattas to those living on poromboke land. He said that only a miniscule section of people had benefited from the scheme.
He condemned land grabbing by anti-social elements with the support of ruling party workers in several districts. Saying towns such as Virudhunagar, Rajapalayam and Srivilliputtur were getting piped drinking water supply only once in 10 to 15 days, he wanted the government to solve the problem.
