Textbook controversy: Man claiming to be BJP worker cautions Karnataka Higher Education Minister

Defending revision of school textbooks by the Rohith Chakrathirtha-headed committee, Minister for Higher Education Dr. C.N. Ashwath Narayan said the Karnataka Government will correct mistakes, if any.

In a programme organised by Manthana, a forum, in Hassan on June 23, the Minister said, all these years, the Congress party designed textbooks to suit their political ideology. They glorified the history of invaders, ignoring the rich heritage of the land.

“The committee constituted during our time is correcting the mistakes committed by the previous committee headed by Prof. Baragur Ramachandrappa. If any mistake continues in the final textbooks, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has clarified that it would be corrected,” he said.
