Mangalore, March 4: A protest against saffronisation of school text books by the state government was held by the Mangalore unit of Students Islamic Organization (SIO) of India in the city on Saturday.
Members of the Organization raised slogans against the state government which has decided to implement communal contents in social studies text books of classes 5 and 8 from the coming academic year. Such contents poison little minds and inculcate communal hatred in their hearts, the press statement of SIO read.
The textbooks in question should be withdrawn and fresh ones in accordance with constitutional values and as per the norms of National Curriculum Framework, should be introduced, the Organisation demanded.
