Three weeks after a letter by former students of the Vasant Valley School to clamp down on the “hatred” aired on his channels, the institute’s owner and India Today Group chairman Aroon Purie has said that he has “read and duly taken note of” these concerns.
The letter was sent on September 13 by alums from 18 batches of the school run by Education Today Trust, established by Aroon Purie and his wife Rekha Purie. While the initial number of signatories was 165, the list subsequently increased. The alums had pointed out that content on the network was against the values they were taught at school, and urged Purie to “hold accountable those that openly engage in communal polarisation under the garb of news reportage”.
