JAMMU, Dec 16: An expert committee of Private Schools Association of Jammu and Kashmir (PSAJK) that was tasked to check the content of schools books in Kashmir has recommended ban of two Urdu books for class 5 and class 3, after finding objectionable content in the book.
The Expert Committee while presenting its findings before the Association flagged the books titled ‘Mehboob Urdu’ published by Franklin International, New Delhi as having objectionable content. These books have various caricatures that are not allowed in Islam. Such things hurt the sentiments of people. We have recommended for immediate removal of such books from the syllabus,” said Khurshid Bismil, chairman of the Expert Committee.
After receiving the report from the Expert Committee, PSAJK has issued an advisory asking all the schools that had prescribed the particular books in their syllabus to remove the same immediately. The Schools have been asked to collect each and every copy of such books from their stock and from every student too. All the copies of such books should be destroyed, the Association advised the schools. Furthermore the book dealers in Kashmir are also asked to remove the stock of these books from their collection.
