Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi. File | Photo Credit: ANI Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday (December 26, 2025) alleged that the BJP-RSS combine is conspiring to weaken education and institutions, stressing that education needs freedom while institutions will be run by knowledge and science, not by ideology. In a post on Facebook, Mr. Gandhi said he met with students of the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) at Jan Sansad recently, who reiterated the same serious concerns that students and teachers from other educational institutions across the country have been consistently raising. The students explained that the ISI is gradually being taken over institutionally by the RSS, Mr. Gandhi alleged. He said the ISI is not just any ordinary institution but it conducts high-level research in Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Data Science, Computer Science and policy-making, and has produced world-class experts for the country. “The Academic Councils, which should be run by academicians, are now facing bureaucratic and ideological interference. The syllabus and research are also being controlled by the RSS ideology. “This is not educational reform, …

The AIDWA members have demonstrated across the country. The women’s organization had carried out detail survey which showed alarming rise in indebtedness among poor and especially women due to the unchecked functioning of MFIs and NBFCs. File | Photo Credit: PTI Veteran CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat on Friday (December 19, 2025) lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party Government, alleging that rural indebtedness particularly among women was on the rise due to the lack of effective control over the high interest rates charged by microfinance institutions (MFIs). Leading a demonstration in front of Regional Office of the Reserve Bank of India here, Ms. Karat said, “public sector banks are giving loans to MFIs at low interest rate. They are jacking up the interest without any cap on interest rate. The SHGs and individual women are taking loan at very high rate of interest.” “Moreover, MFIs are encouraging disbandment of SHGs as individual women are more vulnerable. They prefer to extend loan to individual woman at exorbitant interest rate. The RBI has not put any cap …

Nainar Nagenthran slams DMK government over vacancies in higher educational institutions

Published by Parlour News

BJP Tamil Nadu president Nainar Nagenthran on Thursday alleged that the DMK government has failed to fill lecturer vacancies in higher educational institutions, thereby affecting the future of the youth. In a post on X, Mr. Nagenthran said information obtained through the Right to Information Act revealed that more than 40% of the sanctioned lecturer posts were vacant in 12 of the 21 State universities, while the remaining nine universities had vacancies ranging between 15% and 40%. He said nearly half of the lecturer posts remained vacant at the University of Madras, Dr. Ambedkar Law University, Anna University, Bharathidasan University, and Manonmaniam Sundaranar University. This clearly showed the administrative failure of the DMK government, he said. “Without providing basic facilities at educational institutions or filling vacant posts, the DMK government should be ashamed of holding publicity events and proclaiming that Tamil Nadu excels in education,” he charged.
