Speaking at a function to honour award winning teachers at his residence, he said, "I was deeply pained when I heard of the death of a teacher last week in Ujjain at the hands of unruly students."
"I am also pained by incidents of disrespectful behaviour by students and some anti-social elements who pretend to be students," he said.
