In a controversy that has escalated tensions between the central government and the judiciary, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed deep displeasure over the content related to "corruption in the judiciary" included in the NCERT's Class 8 social science textbook. According to government sources, the Prime Minister has given a clear message that accountability must be fixed in this matter and strict action must be taken against those responsible.
Raising the issue in a cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Modi asked, "What are Class 8 students being taught about corruption in the judiciary?" Who is monitoring all this? Sources said the PM questioned the appropriateness of this content and the process used to approve it.
Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan also expressed regret over the controversy. He said, "We have great respect for the judiciary. The government had no intention of insulting the judiciary. I am deeply saddened and regret what happened. We are taking this matter seriously and will fully abide by the judiciary's decision."
The Supreme Court has taken suo motu cognizance of the issue and taken strict action. A bench headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant imposed a complete ban on the NCERT book. The court ordered the confiscation of all copies (physical and digital) of the book, and a ban on its reprinting and online sharing. Calling it a "deep-rooted conspiracy against the judiciary," the court said, "Heads must be cut... We will investigate and the guilty will be punished. The matter will not be closed."
The court issued show-cause notices to the School Education Secretary and NCERT Director Professor Dinesh Prasad Saklani, asking why action should not be taken against them under the Contempt of Court Act or other laws. Questioning Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, the court said, "This is a well-planned conspiracy. We will not allow anyone to tarnish the image of the institution."
