National Desk: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding that the Ministry of Education immediately withdraw the revised guidelines under which state government-aided universities should be held for holding global conferences. First the approval of the Ministry has to be obtained. The knowledge he wrote in the letter is not the creation or property of any one country or community.

The ministry said on 15 January that if government-funded universities want to organize an online global conference on issues related to the security of the country or directly related to "India's internal affairs", they will have to get the approval before the ministry. . Banerjee said that the revised guidelines have created many hurdles in organizing online / digital international conferences / seminars / training etc. by state-funded universities. He said that states were not consulted in this regard before issuing the memorandum.

In a letter to Prime Minister Modi, Banerjee wrote that our universities should experience top-level self-government and independence. The knowledge he wrote in the letter is not the creation or property of any one country or community. Logical regulation and restrictions are understandable. However, the restrictions imposed by the office memorandum further underline the Government of India's intention to centralize the higher education system in our country. Banerjee said that it would not be out of context to mention here that education is in the concurrent list of the constitution and it would be contrary to the spirit of the federal structure to not consult with state governments before issuing such instructions to educational institutions. Banerjee said that any such dialogue would be seen as an example of "contempt of constitutional powers of states". 

National Desk; West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday alleged that the BJP brought a large number of outsiders in the campaigning for the Assembly elections, leading to an increase in Kovid cases in the state in recent times. At an election rally here, Mamta accused the BJP-led government at the Center of not responding to the state's request for vaccination of most people. He said that vaccinating people can help in overcoming the spread of the disease. 

Mamta said in the rally, they (BJP leaders) have brought outsiders for campaigning, which increased the Kovid cases. We had overcome the Kovid situation but they made it complicated. Regarding the decision of the Election Commission to ban election campaigning for 24 hours, he said, is it a mistake to ask Hindus, Muslims and others to vote together? What to say about Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is making fun of me in every election meeting? Why was he not prevented from campaigning?

Accusing Prime Minister Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of lying in election rallies, Trinamool Congress chief Mamta said, the Center has kept the NRC and NPR Bills alive, but the Home Minister had claimed in a gathering that the National Civil Register They have no plans to implement. Mamta said, do not believe them. If they come to power, you too may experience 14 lakh Bengalis in Assam (in the context of the last NRC in the northeast state). The BJP is a dangerous party that is trying to divide Bengal.
