Viral message example-  Mamata Baneerjee’ s latest darconian order to close down 125 schools run by the Hindus shows her real face. Madarsas are fine and her favorite, Hindus run nationalist managements unacceptable to her.

Viral Message Verification:-  As tweeted by Prof Rakesh Sinha who is one of the active member in the RSS. His tweet is true. The West Bengal government run by Mamata Banerjee has indeed issueed notice to shut down 125 schools, claims RSS operates them.

It was found that these 125 schools are run mostly by three trusts - Sarada Shishu Tirtha, Saraswati Shishu Mandir, and Vivekananda Vidya Vikas Parishad, they proclaim to be affiliated to the Lucknow-headquartered Vidya Bharati Akhil Bharatiya Shiksha Sansthan.

The Bengal government said on 20th Feb that it would act against schools run allegedly by the RSS if it was established that "sticks" were used at the institutions.

State education minister Partha Chatterjee told the Assembly, "We gathered inputs and found that over 125 schools, mostly in north Bengal, did not take any NoC (no-objection certificate) from the WB government. Yet, they were in operation. We had told them that they couldn't," .

Currently the government has received complaints against 500 such schools.

RSS spokesperson Biplab Ray told Mint that it was not his organisation’s duty to run these schools. “The West Bengal government should pay attention to the madrasas instead and check what they teach.”

 

The RSS Secretary in south Bengal, Jisnu Basu said to Hindustan Times, that Chatterjee should visit these schools before trying to close them down. “The schools that he is trying to close are providing students with good education and hygienic atmosphere,” Basu. “The government needs to focus on improving the standard of primary education in Bengal.”
