Madhya Pradesh Education Minister Uday Pratap Singh reacts to the closure of FIITJEE coaching, saying, 'This issue is also a priority for us, but right now, it is time for prayers and worship''

Context - At least eight FIITJEE (Forum For Indian Institute of Technology-Joint Entrance Examination) coaching centres across North India have abruptly shut over the past week, leaving hundreds of students and parents fuming ahead of board and entrance examinations. The closure came after several teachers at the institute quit en masse due to unpaid salaries, officials said.
