Bengaluru, Jul 10: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Thursday condemned the decision of the HRD Ministry to drop chapters on citizenship, secularism and federalism from Class 11 political science syllabus, stating that this will "deprive a generation of students from understanding the important pillars of Indian democracy".
"I strongly condemn the decision of @HRDMinistry to drop chapters on citizenship, secularism and federalism. This will deprive a generation of students from understanding the important pillars of Indian democracy. #Stop Saffronisation Of Education," Siddaramaiah tweeted.
The Congress leader further alleged that BJP does not believe in the principles of citizenship, secularism and federalism.
"Chapters on citizenship, secularism and federalism are dropped from Class 11 Pol Science. syllabus. Does this explain something? Yes, it explains that @BJP4India doesn't believe in these principles and validates its past behaviour," he said in another tweet.
Earlier in the day, Union Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank rejected criticism over alleged conspiracy in CBSE's decision to reduce the syllabus of schools due to COVID-19 outbreak and urged the critics to "leave politics out of education".
"There has been a lot of uninformed commentary on the exclusion of some topics from #CBSESyllabus. The problem with these comments is that they resort to sensationalism by connecting topics selectively to portray a false narrative," the Union Minister tweeted.
"It is our humble request:#Education is our sacred duty towards our children. Let us leave politics out of education and make our politics more educated," he added.
The CBSE has revised the syllabus for the classes IX to XII during the academic session 2020-21 in the wake of the situation created by COVID-19.
In a circular issued to all the heads of the institutions affiliated to it, the CBSE had said that the revision of syllabi has been done due to the extraordinary situation prevailing in the country and different parts of the world.
The miscreants have been identified as as Rakesh Nazare, Onkar Raichur, Harish Salunke, Vinay Patil and Sagar Benagi, all said to be the members of Sri Ram Sena.

Dont live your life with HATE in your heart for anyone,

Dear Brothers.
There is no God but ALLAH and Muhammad pbuh is the last and final messenger of ALLAH. ALLAH guides the one who is HONEST in knowing the TRUTH.
The Prophets of ALLAH are many but 25 Prophets are mentioned in QURAN by name.The best of them are 5
Prophet Noah,
Prophet Abraham,
Prophet Moses,
Prophet Jesus and
Prophet Muhammad - Peace be upon them all.
Mankind needs Guidance from their teachings... They all conveyed that ALLAH is the creator of all that exists (human beings, animals, plants, earth, universe and all that is in between them) and we all should WORSHIP him alone without associating partners.
Everyone is born as a Muslim but their parents take them to worship different man made objects as Gods... which is a Sin. (Until U research on it, You will never understand the consequences on worshiping others beside the True God)
Come to the TRUTH... and use your intellect to know the reality with LOGIC And REASON ---- QURAN invites YOU to use this logic and REASON & compare it with Bible, vedas and other scriptures... PLease TRY to read QURAN (TheQuranproject online)without being bias.
These people are jealous that they cannot attract/convert anybody from other community.....Islam is the best religion....one Allah....one prophet...thank Allah--- am a muslim....
these people can sell ramayana and mahabharatha nobody will come to object
These goons are afraid of people finding truth .and leaving the baseless religion....
