Panel on 'Deshbhakti curriculum' to redefine existing narrative on nationalism:Sisodia

The Delhi government has formed a five-member committee to work on the 'Deshbhakti curriculum' to be introduced in its schools to "redefine the existing narrative on nationalism, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said here.

The narrative is "currently limited to chanting Bharat mata ki jai'", Sisodia said and stressed that children must learn that nationalism means doing your bit for the country in everyday life.

Sisodia, who is also the Education Minister of Delhi, rejected suggestions that the Aam Aadmi Party Government was trying to ape the BJP agenda ahead of the Assembly polls, saying nationalism is neither the BJP's nor the AAP's".

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had announced last month that his government will introduce 'Deshbhakti curriculum' in government schools next year to create a class of patriotic citizens
When we announced the nationalism curriculum introduction, I was told this is the BJP's agenda not yours. I was like -- can somebody own patriotism?
