Row erupts as NCERT module blames Congress for Partition
Hindustan Times Delhi
|August 17, 2025
A political row erupted on Saturday over an NCERT module holding Congress responsible for Partition, with the Opposition party demanding that the special module be scrapped and “set on fire” even as the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accused the grand old party of repeating its “appeasement politics” and refusing to confront historical truth.
As first reported by HT on Friday, the special module created by NCERT on “Partition Horrors Remembrance Day” (August 14) holds three people responsible: “Jinnah, who demanded it; second, the Congress, which accepted it; and third, Mountbatten, who implemented it”.
