1. Won’t oppose textbook revision by Congress government in Karnataka: Rohit Chakratirtha
Rohit Chakratirtha, who headed the committee that revised school textbooks during the BJP rule, has said the present government has the right to revise the textbooks. On June 15, the Congress government had rolled back the revisions made by the previous BJP regime. This included scrapping lessons on Hindutva ideologues, including RSS founder K.B. Hedgewar.
Reiterating his earlier statement, Mr. Chakratirtha stood by his words that the ruling government has the right to revise textbooks. “The previous government took the decision to revise textbooks, and did it. Similarly, if the present government wants to remove some portions of the textbooks and add a few more, I have no objections,” he said.
