Baragur Ramachandrappa, chairman of the earlier textbook committee, has urged Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to call a meeting of all stakeholders who are protesting against revision of textbooks done by the committee headed by Rohith Chakrathirtha.
Responding to the Chief Minister’s statements on Friday night and the report submitted by the Education Minister, Ramachandrappa said that the revised textbooks were “against the principles of Basavanna and Kuvempu.”
He further said revision committee has completely ignored the National Textbook Curriculum Framework. He alleged that the revisions were “anti-Dalit, anti-women and against constitutional values, social justice and equality.” He said the Chief Minister should listen to those who are opposing the revised textbooks.
