Kozhikode: Senior CPI leader and MLA K Rajan on Sunday alleged that the Congress-led UDF government and its education department had surrendered before the Sangh Parivar and the RSS.
He claimed that this was evident from the alleged increasing inclusion of RSS affiliated persons in academic organisations and committees in Keralam.
Rajan, the former state revenue minister, further claimed that there was a proposal to include a RSS leader in the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) of Keralam which decides the syllabus of schools.
“It is a serious matter that the General Education Department is considering reconstitution of the SCERT governing body by including a member of the RSS,” he said while speaking to reporters here.
He claimed that this was one of several other similar instances where the government was promoting RSS leaders in the education sector.
Another instance he cited was the inclusion of an alleged Sangh Parivar member in the governing body of the Shikshak Sadan in Keralam.
Rajan said that on this being questioned, General Education Minister N Samsudheen had claimed it was done in the hopes of getting more central funds.
“However, no funds have been received from the Centre in recent times for the running of the Shikshak Sadan. It is run from contributions made by teachers,” he claimed.
The CPI leader claimed that “such instances indicate the state’s education sector is being surrendered before the Sangh Parivar and RSS” and contended that it cannot be permitted.
