Sidhu hits back, Protests outside CM Arvind Kejriwal's home

Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu joined the protest of Delhi government guest teachers outside Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence on Sunday. The teachers were protesting over demands for permanent jobs. This comes after Kejriwal joined a protest held by contractual teachers in Punjab on November 27. The Punjab Congress chief said the Delhi education model is a "contract model" and that under the AAP government, unemployment rate in Delhi has increased by almost 5 times over the past five years.  Sidhu said guest teachers in Delhi are treated as "bonded labour".  Sidhu said, "Dear Kejriwal, you are giving lectures in Punjab but hiding your own problems." 

An ounce of performance is worth a pound of preachment, practice what you preach @ArvindKejriwal Ji … Delhi School Teachers say they are treated as bonded labour & daily wagers, paid per day, no payment for holidays or weekends, No guarantee of contract, removed without notice ! pic.twitter.com/W4NieQbaMF

Earlier, Arvind Kejriwal had assured protesting teachers in Punjab that he would deal with their issues on priority when the Aam Aadmi Party forms government in the state. Kejriwal had also introduced himself as the younger brother of protesting teachers, saying he was the son of a teacher.
