In a bizarre development, the Jammu and Kashmir police have booked the chairman and five other top officials of the State Board of School Education (Bose) besides the authors and publishers for allegedly seeking to portray the police as being “cruel” in a textbook for Class 1.
Simultaneously, special police parties have been fanned out to confiscate the controversial textbook from bookstalls and school stores.
The ‘Baharistan-e-Urdu’ has on it reportedly a picture of a man in police attire, holding a cane in his hand against Urdu alphabet zoye that here stands for zalim or cruel, tyrant or atrocious. Was it deliberate or unintentional gaffe, the police is investigating.
