Aaditya Thackeray, Shiv Sena leader has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requesting him to postpone all the academic activities.
He has also requested to PM that he should consider a new academic year starting from January 2021 instead of June-July 2021 so that students do not lose a year.
Thackeray said that various institutions and universities are scheduling examinations, which isn’t a “practical” and “feasible” idea considering the rising cases of Covid-19 in the country.
In his letter, he said that he wished to draw the PM’s attention to the plight of the students.
“While most of our country is still working from home due to increasing Covid numbers, various institutions and universities for professional and non-professional courses have been trying to schedule examinations. This isn’t a practical and feasible option sir, as most states are facing increasing numbers of Covid, along with red zones still in place and transport yet to resume,” the chief of Shiv Sena’s youth wing said.
