Gehlot's Strong Condemnation of Government Actions

Former Chief Minister of Rajasthan and senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot has launched a fierce critique against the central government regarding alterations made to NCERT textbooks. He characterized these changes as indicative of a narrow-minded approach.


The Congress leader asserted that the ideology behind these modifications has no connection to the country's independence movement and has never contributed to the struggle for freedom. He accused these forces of being engulfed in the arrogance of power, attempting to distort the nation's history and its facts.


In a statement, Gehlot pointed out that the recent revisions in the eighth-grade NCERT textbooks are a direct result of this narrow thinking. He labeled the central government as ineffective on all fronts, claiming it is trying to manipulate public opinion to mask its shortcomings.


Furthermore, he stated that instead of addressing its failures, the government is disparaging our great ancestors and freedom fighters while working to create a misleading narrative. Gehlot expressed confidence that the youth of the nation are well aware of this political propaganda and the tampering with their glorious history.
