The Maoist threats against schools has to stop once and for all, otherwise I quit. Is education a big joke? Do the Maoists want to send this country back to the stone-age? Do they want a country which has achieved 100% illiteracy? They have been successful in damaging the economy and are not far from bringing about the total collapse of the education system. My message to the Maoists: lay off schools, leave the economy alone. We will support you only if we feel you deserve it.
