New NCERT module on Partition Horrors blames Congress, sparks row
NCERT released a special module for schools to mark Partition Horrors Remembrance Day. It stated that partition wasn't the work of one individual but of three forces- Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who demanded Partition; Congress, which accepted it; and Lord Mountbatten, who implemented it. Congress criticised the module, with Pawan Khera saying, "Burn this document as it doesn't tell the truth."
