Speaking with midday, President of Forum for fairness, Jayant Jain said,“This time we are not against the school, we are against the government who are giving them enough privileged for the illegal fee hike and going against the law. Even if they have formed laws and rules to prevent the right of parents and students in the education system, nobody is following it.”
