Kerala Government Reviews PM SHRI Scheme Amid INL Opposition and Official Clarifications
The Indian National League (INL) has accused Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan of attempting to implement the Union government's PM SHRI scheme through indirect means, alleging it promotes 'saffronisation' of education. The INL disputes reports that Satheesan secured Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's approval for the scheme. Meanwhile, Kerala's General Education Minister N Samsudheen stated no decision has been made on PM SHRI implementation, with a sub-committee still examining the issue and no new directives received from the Centre.
