The meeting was held by the management after parents held a series of protests in the school. Parents were present during the meeting when president of the association Kamaldeep Singh asked why the school was charging the re-admission fee.

He also raised a question on why the school was not there in the list of 70 institutes that were recognised by the education department. The parents told Suvikram Jyoti, one of the members of the management that the teachers were forcing the students to take tuitions, but the management said that the school teachers never force any students to take tuitions.

It is also reported that the parents had an argument over the signed attendance sheet claiming that the meeting was not official and there was no need of any signatures.

Kamaldeep said they had earlier signed in agreement, but later they found that every member of the management was not present, and then we demanded the sheet back.

“When we asked them to return the paper having our signatures, some people siding with the school management tried to attack us,” Singh alleged.

Earlier, fearing protest by parents, the school had also deployed police outside its premises citing security reasons.

The parents also raised slogans against the management and held a protest on the campus.
