Grade XII Syllabus Change: Captain Consecrates to Constitute New Committee to Change Syllabus
Posted: 07 May 2018 11:12 AM PDTCHANDIGARH, Punjab—Amid on-going politics between mainstream political parties of Punjab over removal of Sikh history from the syllabi of secondary classes, the Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has said that he was open to constitution of a new committee to revert the history syllabus if he found any error, He added that he will thoroughly relook at the committee set up by the erstwhile SAD-BJP government to revise and rewrite history books.
Captain’s statement has come after pressure built up by the Shiromani Akali Dal leadership with submission of memorandum to the Punjab governor VP Singh Badnore on May 4.
Interacting with media, Captain Amarinder Singh said that it was ironic that the SAD leadership, which had once constituted the committee to revise and rewrite history syllbi for secondary classes, is now on toes to earn sympathy of Sikh masses.
Earlier in April 2018, Sikh24 had published a story detailing how the school syllabi was changed to make it parallel to the one being taught by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).
