Modi sermon in Gujarat on Teachers' day

In Gujarat, Chief Minister Narendra Modi became a teacher-philosopher on Teachers' Day.

Students in schools and colleges across the state were made to attend a one-hour Modi sermon. The programme, which was telecast live by Doordarshan Kendra, Gujarat.

Modi also made it mandatory for students to watch this programme attentively. The District education officers made sure there were TV sets with cable connections in schools and colleges.

The Congress flayed the Modi Sermon saying that it was a misuse the state machinery, apart from the fact that children were forced to watch Modi hold forth.

The students were also administered an oath by the CM. A copy of the pledge was dispatched to all schools and the principals were asked to distribute photocopies to their students so that they can read the oath correctly.
