Gujarat govt's 'deeds like Raavan', says Manish Sisodia after inclusion of Gita in school syllabus

NEW DELHI: Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia welcomed the Gujarat government’s initiative to introduce Bhagwad Gita in the school curriculum for Classes 6 to 12, but termed the Gujarat government's actions as "deeds like Raavan." “Definitely it’s a great step but people who are introducing it need to practice the values of Gita first. Their deeds like Raavan and they talk about Gita,” Sisodia told ANI.

Sisodia spoke during Holi celebrations with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) members and wished everyone a happy Holi. “I wish a very happy Holi to all the people of the country. Holi teaches us that our reality lies in not just one but all colours,” he said.
