THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has reacted to the deletion of certain lessons and sections from the NCERT textbook. In his Facebook post, he said that no one can hide historical facts by omitting things that are inconvenient to them from textbooks. He also criticized that such steps are intended to completely saffronize the textbooks.

'Sangh Parivar has always attempted to twist medieval Indian history. By omitting this lesson, NCERT is also whitewashing the fake history created by the Sangh Parivar. History will not cease to be history if historical truths are changed or covered with saffron. By saffronizing history, the Sangh Parivar is trying to feed the minds of children with the politics of hatred and division through textbooks,' the CM wrote.
