He accused the school administration of using "muscle power" and termed the striking off 34 students for non-payment of the increased annual fees as "repulsive."
The DPS Parents Association (DPA) called for a protest gathering outside the school on Wednesday demanding the reinstatement of the struck-off students.
The Association claims that the school administration had increased the annual fees by approximately 50% amid the ongoing economic hardships caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In response, the school administration alleged that the protest was "violent and disruptive," claiming that the parents had vandalized school property, assaulted security personnel, and used abusive language toward teachers and students.
Sisodia, speaking in regard to the incident, condemned the use of what he termed "muscle power" by the school's administration and said that the Delhi government-run schools would never treat students and parents similarly.
The AAP leader also called for the arrest of those involved in the incident and for an investigation into the matter.
"When the parents of the child come to the school with a lot of expectations and emotions, then such incidents should not happen," he added.
This latest development underscores the growing tensions between the DPS school authorities and the DPA, and escalating political tensions between the AAP and BJP ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in Delhi scheduled for early next year.
Conclusion: AAP, BJP continue to lock horns in run-up to crucial polls
With the AAP accusing the BJP of "muscle power" and the BJP refuting these claims as "political motivation," it is clear that the political tensions between the parties have escalated ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections.
As elections near, we can expect more of these clashes to continue grabbing headlines, with each party trying to prove its mettle on the issues of public education and public order.
Will the BJP rise above the criticism and deliver constructive solutions? Or will the AAP's agenda of transparency and public interest prevail?
Only time will tell.
Quote: "No child should be expelled for non-payment of fees, and the government should intervene to find a solution," said Manish Sisodia.
This quote from the Deputy CM underscores the contentious nature of the issue, which has now become a political tug-of-war between the AAP and BJP ahead of the electoral battle.
Will the future of these children and the larger issues of affordable education and parental justice become catalysts for change? Or will political agendas dominate?
Stay tuned!
