NEW DELHI: Senior BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha on Sunday praised Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for recently directing his government to take stern action against a school for increasing fee in the name of implementation of 7th Pay Commission.
Mr Sinha in a tweet said, "HC ruling @ school fees hike roll back, mass & popular leader @ArvindKejriwal, in a stern message to DoE ordered strict action against schools over fee hike.
AAP is probably the 1st Govt. in history (of Indian democracy) to take steps against private schools @hiking fees".
