CTBC in tricolour insult controversy



Raipur, July 01, 2011

The Chhattisgarh text Book Corporation is once again in controversy and this time the state Congress has targeted it for printing the national flag wrongly in the school books. “This is an insult to the tricolour, but surprisingly the officials of the corporation are unaware about this major blunder,” said the PCC spokesperson Iqbal Ahmed Rizvi, also the former chairman of Madhya Pradesh Text Book Corporation, on Friday.
“Already the CTBC is deeply mired in corruption and scams and the wrong printing of national flag in school books not only indicate the recklessness of its top bosses and the officials but also points out towards another scam,” he said.
“The Congress terms insult to the tricolour as an unpardonable crime and the BJP-ld state government should immediately fix responsibility and take action against the guilty officials,” he said.
Pointing out towards the incident of unfurling of tricolour upside down in Dantewada in presence of one of the state ministers and the Collector in the past, Rizvi said the BJP, which preaches patriotism to the people, had developed a habit to insult the national flag.
He further alleged that the CTBC was being steered by the paper mafia. “It is the nexus between the CTBC officials and the paper mafia owing to which the corporation has framed such rules which make local paper mills ineligible to participate in the tendering process,” he said.
Rizvi informed that the CTBC officials were purchasing papers from the mafia at much higher rates than that of the local mills, but the government had kept its eyes closed.
He said the BJP government had become synonym to corruption and scams owing to which its insincere officials, ministers and middlemen were inflating their pockets.
