EDUCATION MINSTER DENIES PRESS REPORT THAT HIS SON HAS NOT ATTENDED SCHOOL

Srinagar, Sept 28 (Only Kashmir):- Commenting on the news item published in the section of Srinagar press, where it was reported that son of Education Minister, was absent from school, was categorically denied by Peerzada Mohammad Sayeed. The Minister said after observing 80% attendance in rural areas and 28% in the Srinagar city the attendance of students in different government and private schools, the anti-education forces became active and started floating different rumors to discourage students to attend their schools. “The rumor of my son not attending school was handiwork of such elements”, the Minister said.
Before floating such baseless and mischievous news, the newspaper should have checked the attendance of Bisco School in Lal Chowk where he marked his attendance and attended his school for full day. He further said that his son attended the school today as well.
He questioned those who have prominently published this news. Commenting on alarming revelation of CNN-IBN news, where the names of those leaders who are telling children of Kashmir to remain uneducated have sent their children to premier and luxurious institutions outside the state as well as abroad, he said.
“I have already told in press conference on the queries of media persons that I don’t want to reveal their names but the press can get their names from CNN-IBN, which was carried by other electronic media as well”. But this section of the newspapers is feeling of shy to carry such news.
