We condemn this act of servility
In the past we have seen that students of different institutions used to get lined up on either side of the street with small flags in their hands to greet the head of the state visiting our country. But now the same thing has become a ritual even for a minister, visiting a district or his constituency. We learnt that the ministry of education has strictly forbidden this practice to relieve students from this laborious process. However, some over enthusiastic party activists flouting the directive amass students from different institutions and kept them standing for hours in the parching weather against their will just to please the minister. It is also reported that many students especially girl students fell sick due to heat and dehydration. We strongly protest this act of servility and urge that this practice be stopped immediately.
