Vikas Divyakirti Amid Row Over Basement Deaths: "I Am Getting Targeted..."
Dr Vikas Divyakirti, founder of Drishti IAS, claimed he's being targeted as a scapegoat in the Old Rajinder Nagar Coaching Centre incident. He believes that the administration wants to shift blame and ease public pressure. Divyakirti acknowledges the students' emotional turmoil and valid concerns, sharing that he's haunted by the thought of the three children who died.
When asked about why he is being targeted in the coaching centre tragedy, Mr Divyakirti said that everyone wants a scapegoat as it makes things easier for the administration.
"I am getting targeted because, in such cases, everyone wants a scapegoat. It makes things easier for the administration, they think they are safe; they let that one person suffer, and even society feels that they have got the accused...The students are going through an emotional turmoil, and the reason for their anger is why I did not stand with them...The sealing action took place in more than 50 institutes, one of which is ours," he said.
