Don’t blame Kapil Sibal, even Pranab Mukherjee, for the great act of absolute censorship of the NCERT textbook, Indian Constitution at Work. They had only come close to agreeing to first drop the ‘offending’ cartoon, and then the chapter itself, and even render it cartoon-free. The honours for getting the textbook off the syllabus goes to Sonia Gandhi. It was she, who, according a report in DNA, literally shouted at her colleagues from her perch on the front ranks of the treasury benches, “Not just the cartoon. No. The whole book”. It was duly complied with. Needless to say, for the government, her word is the law.

Verbatim

What happened (in 2002) was a blot. But it’s not good if we remember just that and forget other things that are happening. I congratulate Narendra Bhai. Gujarat’s development is helpful for India and if Gujarat develops the nation will also develop. I hope Narendra Modi won’t be confined to Gujarat for long and the nation will get his services.
Nitish Kumar, in December 2003
