KOZHIKODE:
Two teachers were injured when suspected Youth Congress activists attacked a
school at Nadapuram on Saturday demanding immediate withdrawal of the
'controversial' seventh standard social studies textbook.
A group of Youth Congress
volunteers reportedly forced their way into the school, where teachers were
participating in a 'cluster' (training programme), police said.
Volunteers of Youth Congress,
its students’ wing, KSU, Muslim Youth League and its students outfit,
Muslim Students Federation also disrupted the programmes at Payyoli, Vatakara
and some other places in the district, they said.
Youth Congress and KSU
activists have been staging demonstrations over the issue all over the state,
alleging that the textbook 'glorifies Communist ideology'.
Meanwhile, members of the
Kerala State Teachers association took out a march in the city in protest
against the incidents and sought action against those involved in the attacks.
