Alfaaz – The Words Desk

SRINAGAR: School Education Department, Jammu and Kashmir, on Saturday denied vehemently publication of any ‘objectionable content’, allegedly attributed to textbooks prescribed by JK-BOSE.

“There is some objectionable content page from a book being circulated on social media. As verified, from the textbooks prescribed and developed by JKBOSE, there is no such content in JKBOSE textbooks. Moreover, no book having such content has been developed by NCERT, nor has it been prescribed in any of JK schools,” said SED in a post on ‘X’.

“We are verifying the source of this video so that the law enforcement authorities can take strict action,” the post reads.

In the meantime J&K Police in Budgam maintaining the stance of SED wrote in an ‘X’ post; “In the background of circulation of objectionable content from a book,school education department has posted that there is neither any such content in JK BOSE textbooks nor any such content has been developed by NCERT besides that it has not been prescribed in any J&K schools.”

“People are requested not to pay heed to rumours to vitiate the atmosphere of peace and harmony. Anyone found indulging in such activities will be strictly dealt under law,” the post concludes.

Pertinent to mention here that a purported textbook page was shared widely on social-media, wherein a known scholar was shown in bad light, prompting resentment by people from different sections of life.
