Karnataka: Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah has urged the Karnataka government to withdraw its decision to implement the new National Education Policy (NEP) saying ‘the intention of NEP is to indoctrinate students with the idea of communalism through education’, claiming that “NEP is unscientific and will push lakhs of students to darkness.”

He mentioned, "Government should have discussed and debated about these issues before the implementation. NEP decides the future of many students shaping their next 70-80 years. Education is a tool for social elevation for many marginalized sections. Has BJP implemented NEP to prevent this elevation of social status among marginalized sections?" Siddaramaiah wrote in his letter to Narayana.

Noting that policy changes in matters such as education and health were not a minor issue, the former chief minister addd, “Governments of many developed countries take complete responsibility of health and education, but here in India, the government is trying to wash its hands off the responsibility.”

He further alleged that the govt has already decided and inaugurated to implement the said policy from the current academic year, sans any discussion with the students, teachers, education experts, or opposition. "If there has to be debate about NEP in good spirit, I urge the govt to withdraw the implementation of NEP immediately and we will come for discussion for that. If, after deliberations, NEP is found to be good, we will support the govt to implement NEP. Otherwise, the govt will have to take the burden of pushing lakhs of people to misery," stated Siddaramaiah.
