After a huge uproar over the talks about screening a film on Prime Minister Narendra Modi by the opposition parties, Maharashtra Education Minister Vinod Tawde elucidated that he did not order any school to screen the film based on PM Modi’s life.
However, it came out that, earlier on September 18, Zila Parishad schools in Maharashtra were given a verbal order from the state education department which was highly criticised by opposition parties. Mumbai Congress President Sanjay Nirupam attacked PM Modi calling him an “illiterate” which sparked another row.
