PCC President Sachin Pilot today accused the BJP government in Rajasthan of "saffronising" the school syllabus in the name of upgrading it and by removing chapters on life of certain leaders.
Pilot, while addressing a meeting of teachers' cell of the Congress, alleged the Raje government removed chapters from school syllabus which were related to leaders who played a vital role in the independence of the country.
He added that the teachers should create awareness among public about such developments.
"Teachers, students and scholars should go among the public and warn people of the state against the anti-student, anti-teacher policies of the government," the PCC president said.
