The Students Federation of India (SFI) took severe criticism for herding groups of school students without the permission of the school authorities or parents for a protest march organised here on Tuesday.
The students of Government Vocational Higher Secondary School (GVHSS), Pathiripala, were wheedled into joining the SFI march through the offer of biriyani. Students said they were offered the delicacy by some SFI leaders, but they did not get anything.
The SFI had taken out the march to the District Collectorate here demanding recognition for its ‘charter of rights’. Dozens of students from different schools and colleges had taken part in the march that reached the Collectorate around 1.30 p.m.
