In response to criticism that lakhs of rupees have already been spent on printing and distributing these books, Minister Dilawar remarked sarcastically, “If poison is worth lakhs of rupees, would you still consume it? This is what Congress has done—spent public money just to glorify the Gandhi family.”Dilawar also pointed out that despite serving as Prime Minister for over a decade, Narendra Modi’s achievements are barely mentioned. “He abrogated Article 370, paved the way for the construction of the Ram Temple, and contributed immensely to the country’s development. Yet, this book has little to say about him. On the other hand, there are pages full of content on Congress Prime Ministers,” he said.Citing this imbalance, the education minister confirmed that the state government has decided to withdraw the textbook from schools and will not teach it to students going forward.
