Prime
Minister Narendra Modi’s live television address on the occasion of Teachers’
Day was impressive. However, students and teachers in many schools in Kerala
lost the opportunity to watch the speech because it was not telecast in the
official ViCTERS channel of IT@School. Victers channel is in fact is a poorly
viewed channel and it lost an opportunity to reach a wider section of the
society.
It was an
accusation by some political parties in Kerala against Modi to use Teachers day
to play politics to air saffron ideology, but in fact, by denying telecast through
Victers, the Kerala UDF played tricky politics. Actually
Modi inspired students and teachers by effectively mixing interesting anecdotes
from his childhood and issues such as environment protection and teachers’
responsibility.
Once a
person becomes a Prime Minister, he is the PM of all and not of a section of
the people and this fact has been forgotten by the Kerala rulers.
