The Statesman Kolkata
|August 21, 2025
Trinamul Congress MP Ritabrata Banerjee, who has been consistently asking questions on West Bengal and subjects related to the culture of the state in the Parliament, had asked about omission of works of Rabindranath Tagore by Uttar Pradesh Board text books in the Class XII syllabus to the ministry of education.
The Rajya Sabha Trinamul Congress MP, who is also a trade union leader, had earlier asked questions on the plans by the Centre on installing Tagore's statue at Jallianwala Bagh memorial in Punjab.
The question this time by the TMC MP was regarding Tagore's works being removed from the UP government.
The department of school education and literacy answering the unstarred question replied on Wednesday. The minister of state in the ministry of education, Jayant Chaudhary said that the onus of choosing the syllabus lies with the state government.
