Vested quarter spreading disinformation about textbooks: Dipu Moni

A vested quarter is spreading disinformation and propaganda about textbooks to create confusion ahead of the national election getting no other issue, Education Minister Dipu Moni told parliament today.

"Its purpose is to incite people against the government by misusing religion and creating instability and anarchy," she said while participating in the discussion on the thanksgiving motion on the president's speech in parliament.

Most propaganda about textbooks is false, she said, adding that fake and offensive contents are being spread.

The education minister informed the House that two committees regarding the errors in the textbooks have been formed.

"The experimental books are published with the opinions of those who teach in institutions. Any errors found in the books will be corrected," she added.

Dipu Moni said the intention of those who are criticising is not to correct mistakes. "If their intentions were honest, they would have suggested correcting mistakes through constructive criticism."
