Ahmedabad, January 9: In a shocking incident, a private school in the city made students from Class V to X write postcards to Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulating him on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The message in the postcard read-"I Citizen of India congratulates Honorable PM Narendra Modi for CAA. I and my family support this Act.'
According to an Indian Express report, the school had to apologise and called the exercise a 'misunderstanding', following parents protested against it. The postcards were returned to the parents, who tore them up. Reportedly, students from this school were earlier made to send postcards in support of Triple Talaq.
