Former judge of the Madras High Court K. Chandru on Friday said democracy and secularism were in peril, and teachers should shoulder the responsibility to protect them.
Addressing the inaugural session of the three-day national conference of the School Teachers’ Federation of India (STFI) here, Mr. Chandru said, to further their own selfish motives, the ruling parties were resorting to gross violation of the constitutional norms.
The former judge accused the Centre of completely ignoring the Kothari Commission’s recommendation that the responsibility of framing the new education policy be given to the States.
