The petition stated that Atishi is invited in her official capacity by the prestigious Cambridge University on 15 June, and thereafter, she has arranged multiple visits to primary schools in the UK as well as meetings with potential teacher training partners to make the most of her visit to the UK and ensure that Delhi’s children gain from best practises in primary school education abroad.
