Those protesting Gauri murder are political opportunists, says Ram Madhav

Shivamogga, Sept 18: BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav on Sunday said that dragging Prime Minister Narendra Modi into the killings of senior journalist Gauri Lankesh and scholar M M Kalburgi is foolishness as it is the duty of the state government to ensure security to every citizen in a democratic set-up.

“Modi is being dragged into the killings in Karnataka. It is utter foolishness. Then, what is the responsibility of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah? Madhav questioned and said this is the best example of failure of the state government in maintaining law and order.

As per Article 21 of the Constitution, it is the primary duty of the state government to ensure the safety of people, he said.

Madhav was speaking after inaugurating a two-day state-level symposium on ‘Integral Humanism’ advocated by the erstwhile Bharatiya Jan Sangh leader the late Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya as part of his birth centenary celebrations here.

Madhav said people have been staging protests against Gauri’s murder only to seek political opportunities and not for anything else. Nobody including journalists, writers, scholars or activists deserve to be killed in society. At the same time, there is no point in staging protests condemning the killings of a few people. Those who are protesting the killing of Gauri should have done so when several Hindu activists were murdered in the state. This kind of selective protest is not fair, he said.

The BJP leader said that in the last two years, 12 people Hindu activists have been killed in the state. Those who are condemning the killings of Kalburgi and Gauri did not even condemn the murders of those who were killed for Hindutva, which is unfortunate, he added.

The death of IAS officer D K Ravi was twisted as suicide. But, DySPs M K Ganapathi and Kallappa Handibag ended their lives due to suffocating political environment. Sub-inspector Mallikarjun Bande was killed in a shootout. Were they not human beings in the eyes of those who are fighting for Gauri and Kalburgi,? he questioned.

Bengaluru, Jul 28: After the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) reduced the syllabi for Classes 9 to 12 due to COVID-19 pandemic, the Karnataka government has followed the suit. The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapters on legendary south Indian rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent. 

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed. 

The trimmed textbooks uploaded on the website of the Department of State Education Research and Training (DSERT) by Karnataka state Textbook Society revealed removal of chapters on Tipu Sultan for the seventh grade.

Justifying the decision, officials said, "students study similar chapters in Class 6 and more in the 10th grade." Yet another senior official from the Text Book Society said, "Trimming does not mean we have removed half of the syllabus from textbooks. It is only keeping in mind the repetition we have condensed the chapters. In case students study about a particular dynasty in higher grades, then the same had been removed from lower grades."

A few months ago, there was an uproar over dropping of content on Tipu Sultan and MLAs from the ruling BJP also demanded the same and petitioned to the Chief Minister. Even an expert committee led by Prof Baraguru Ramachandrappa suggested to not drop any content on the historic figure. However, the department still decided to drop lessons from one of the classes while keeping the syllabus short for the next 120 active academic days.

Earlier this month, a controversy had erupted over the CBSE's decision to omit topics like federalism, secularism, citizenship, etc while reducing the syllabus for Classes 9 to 12. The education board had issued a detailed clarification later, stating that topics claimed to be dropped "are either being covered by the rationalised syllabus or in the Alternative Academic Calendar of NCERT".

"The rationalisation of syllabus up to 30 per cent has been undertaken by the Board for nearly 190 subjects of class 9 to 12 for the academic session 2020-21 as a one-time measure only. The objective is to reduce the exam stress of students due to the prevailing health emergency situation and prevent learning gaps," it said.

Last week, the Congress in Uttar Pradesh expressed its concern over 'deliberate and systematic' deletions of chapters related to the freedom struggle and the party's role in it from the Class 10-12 syllabi of the Secondary Education Board.
