Uttarakhand Madrasa board backs NCERT move to include Operation Sindoor in curriculum

NEW DELHI: Commenting on the National Council of Educational Research and Training’s (NCERT) decision to include ‘Operation Sindoor’ in school textbooks, the Chairman of the Uttarakhand Madrasa Education Board, Maulana Mufti Shamoon Qasmi, on Sunday lauded the move, asserting that this would apprise the youth of the valour of the Indian armed forces. 

Talking to IANS in New Delhi, he said that the Uttarakhand Madrasa Board has already taken a proactive step in this direction.

“We have made it mandatory for all madrasas in the state to include Operation Sindoor in their curriculum. Our children must know how the Indian Army bravely carried out a counterattack inside Pakistan, which is a country without a proper constitution and a known promoter of terrorism," he said. Calling the NCERT’s move a “great step,” Qasmi emphasised the importance of instilling national pride and moral values among students. (IANS)
