Rajasthan Cong leaders flay removal of picture from school textbook

Saturday, 18 May 2019 | PTI | Jaipur

The Rajasthan Government’s decision to remove a picture suggesting self-immolation from a school textbook has drawn flak from two leaders from the state’s ruling party, including a Minister. The Congress Government has tasked a committee to make changes in the textbooks introduced by the previous BJP Government. The panel had recommended the removal of a picture suggesting self-immolation under Sati or Jauhar from a Class 8 English textbook. It was replaced with that of a hill fort. “We need to understand the practice of Jauhar. Without understanding the sensitive issue, any leader, be it from the Congress or the BJP, should refrain from making a statement,” said State Transport Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas.
