NCERT asked to remove Ambedkar cartoon from textbooks: Sibal

Making a statement in the Lok Sabha, Sibal said he had written to the NCERT in April asking it to withdraw the offending cartoon from the Political Science textbook of Class XI.

Sibal said distribution of these textbooks has been stopped and a review has been ordered not just of the cartoons but also of the content of the textbooks.

Next year we will remove all such contents from the textbooks, Sibal said.
