The Union Ministry of Education on Thursday wrote to the Ministries of Information and Broadcasting and Electronics asking them to stop the dissemination of a controversial NCERT textbook through digital platforms and electronic media. This directive comes after the Supreme Court on Thursday imposed a complete blanket ban on any further publication, reprinting or digital dissemination of the NCERT’s Class 8 social science book as it contained offending contents on corruption in the judiciary. While removal of physical textbooks and stoppage of their reprinting is being done by the NCERT and allied agencies, their dissemination through digital platforms and electronic media has to be stopped by the Ministry of Electronics, Information Technology and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. The Supreme Court hearing resulted in the blanket ban after insinuations were made against the judiciary, with the court stating shots have been fired against the judiciary and calling it a deep-rooted conspiracy.
