No changes on religion made to textbooks: Dipu Moni

Alleging that a BNP-Jamaat-Shibir faction is spreading propaganda through social media from aboard, Education Minister Dipu Moni claimed that nothing new on religion was included in or dropped from the textbooks.

Dipu Moni made the remarks while answering the questions of journalists after distributing cheques from the prime minister’s rehabilitation fund among the river-erosion-affected families in the 2021-2022 fiscal year in Chandpur on Saturday, reports UNB.

“People who want to confuse religious people are now trying to fish in troubled water ahead of the national election. They want to destabilise the country. That’s why they (BNP-Jamaat-Shibir) are confusing people by spreading a video of wrong information about a lawmaker,” she said.

“There is no scope to take direct legal action against them. In this case, people will have to be conscious and responsible,” she added.

Additional deputy commissioner Imtiaz Hossain, and additional police superintendent Sudipta Roy were among others present.

Dipu Moni, later, inaugurated a weeklong tree plantation fair at Hasan Ali Govt High School ground.
