In a series of tweets on 16 September, Sisodia defended his Finland tour, saying it was not a "sin" to study the schooling system of other countries to fix the problems in Delhi's education system. "Learning from across the world is not a sin. It's a sin to ..defame an educational tour as a 'holiday'. I'm in Finland. We need to learn a lot from their education system, the best in the world," he tweeted.
