Madhya Pradesh School Education minister Inder Singh Parmar s response shocked a parents union in Bhopal, who had gone to consult him about overcharging by schools. Maro jao (Go die) was allegedly the minister s message when asked what should be done if the education department refused to hear their appeal.
The parents and the state s opposition Congress have demanded that Chief Minster Shivraj Singh Chouhan sack Mr Parmar if he doesn t quit on his own.
Around 90-100 parents under the banner of Madhya Pradesh Palak Mahasangh had gone to meet the minister at his official residence in Bhopal. The schools, the parents alleged, were charging hefty fees in violation of High Court orders.
