RSS-run schools ‘fabricating’ history:Paswan

NEW DELHI: Charging RSS-run schools with brain washing students by “fabricating and distorting history,” Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party chief Ram Vilas Paswan on Monday asked Human Resource Development Minister Arjun Singh to set up a regulatory mechanism to screen books before being introduced in schools outside the government system.

In a letter to Mr. Singh, Mr. Paswan claimed that a book ‘RSS, school text books and the murder of Mahatma Gandhi’ and a report ‘Regulatory mechanism for textbooks and parallel textbooks taught in schools outside government system’ by a committee of Central Advisory Board of Education clearly bring out how “hatred and communal ideology is being fed to young minds of school children through distortion of history.” – PTI
