Condemning ‘saffronisation’ of school syllabus, the Dalit Sangharsha Samiti would launch a State-wide protest on Tuesday demanding the State government to scrap the new textbooks and continue the old syllabus. The samiti also demanded resignation of Primary and Secondary Education Minister B.C. Nagesh.
D.G. Sagar, State convener of the samiti, addressing a press conference in Kalaburagi on Saturday said that the samiti would stage a protest in all the district headquarters to exert pressure on the government to withdraw the revised textbooks and continue with the textbooks reviewed by the previous committee headed by Baragur Ramachandrappa.
Mr. Sagar said that scientific temperament has been ignored in the revised curriculum, and they have also dropped the writings of authors who have consistently upheld the constitutional values of the society.
