NEW DELHI : Former Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, in a letter from Tihar jail, has emphasised the transformative power of education and the need to uplift the underprivileged sections of society.
The poetry-like letter was shared on Twitter by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. In his letter, Sisodia highlighted the urgent necessity to provide equal opportunities and access to education for every child, regardless of their socio-economic background.
In his letter Sisodia wrote that if every poor child gets educated, the palace of the ‘Fourth Pass King’ will shake up. Even before this, the AAP has written open letters from jail talking about the importance of education for the progress of the country.
Sisodia’s letter raises thought-provoking questions, urging society to reflect on the consequences of neglecting the education of the less fortunate. He emphasises that denying education to the impoverished not only perpetuates inequality but also perpetuates the cycle of hatred and violence.
Former dy CM writes, “If everyone receives good education and time, then their WhatsApp University will shut down. If society stands on the foundation of education and wisdom, then how will anyone be trapped in the illusion of hatred?”
Furthermore, Manish Sisodia emphasises the empowerment that education brings, particularly to the marginalised. He highlights the importance of providing tools, such as the power of the pen, to express their thoughts and aspirations. He said that, “If every child in society becomes educated, then your cunningness and tricks will be questioned. If the power of the pen reaches the poor, then they will express their inner thoughts in the open.”
The letter also resonates with the ongoing efforts in schools across Delhi and Punjab. It serves as a reminder that education is a fundamental right that should be accessible to all, regardless of their circumstances. His letter unequivocally states, “The sound of conch shells is resonating in schools in Delhi and Punjab, awakening the desire for good education across India.”
Dy CM asserts that providing education to every child, especially the underprivileged, will shake the very foundations of inequality and injustice. Sisodia concludes, “Whether you send us to jail or hang us, this journey will not stop. If every poor child becomes educated, your palace will be left hollow.”
The words of Manish Sisodia are a resounding reminder that education has the power to uplift communities, challenge prejudices, and create a brighter future for all. His vision and determination serve as an inspiration to advocates and policymakers striving for a more equitable and educated society.
