Rahul Gandhi tweets in Kannada to slam govt.
Kimmane Rathnakar, former Education Minister and Congress chief, introduced that the social gathering has determined to take out a padayatra from Kuppalli, the birthplace of poet Kuvempu, in Shivamogga district, searching for withdrawal of revised college textbooks.
He urged the federal government to scrap textbooks revised by the committee headed by Rohit Chakrathirtha. The committee can’t revise the textbooks from Classes 1 to 10 in a few months “by holding meetings in a hotel,” stated Mr. Rathnakar. The dates of the padayatra could be introduced shortly, he stated. He urged the federal government to proceed with the outdated textbooks and represent a brand new committee for the revision of textbooks.
Priyank Kharge, former Minister and MLA, stated there was no educationist or scientist within the committee headed by Rohit Chakrathirtha.
Meanwhile, in a sequence of tweets in Kannada, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi stated that the content material of the revised textbooks was in opposition to the spirit of Karnataka, a land that has seen nice personalities espousing the reason for social justice, humanism and unity. He stated that Congress wouldn’t enable textbooks which are in opposition to the ideas of B.R. Ambedkar, Narayana Guru, Kuvempu, Buddha and Basava to be imposed on college students.
