While hitting on the opposition for making claims, the Union Minister said, “Congress party is desperate…they disrespected the Constitution the most and they are now spreading lies”.

The Union Minister also took to the social media ‘X’ and clarified over the allegations concerning NCERT. He refused the charges of removal of the Preamble from the NCERT textbooks and said, “The allegations of removing the Preamble of the Constitution from NCERT textbooks have no basis. For the first time under the National Education Policy NCERT has given due importance and respect to various aspects of the Indian Constitution – Preamble, Fundamental Duties, Fundamental Rights, National Anthem – in the textbooks”.

Following the NEP’s vision for the holistic development of children, all these aspects are being included in age-appropriate textbooks for various stages, he said.

While hitting on the opposition to the education minister said that the using  a education for the politics of lies and involving children show the disgusting mentality of the Congress party. He further added, “Inspired by Macaulay’s ideology, Congress has always hated India’s development and education system. The argument that only the Preamble of the Constitution reflects constitutional values ​​exposes Congress’ understanding of the Constitution.”

The education minister also targeted the Congress party leaders for carrying and showcasing the copies of the constitution and said, “Congress’s cup of sins is full and those who are roaming around these days as ‘fake Constitution lovers’ and waving copies of the Constitution, their ancestors had repeatedly killed the basic spirit of the Constitution.”

“If there is even a little shame and remorse left in the Congress Party, then it should first understand the Constitution, constitutional values ​​and NEP and stop doing petty politics in the name of the children of the country”, he said.
