Yet another textbook in a CBSE school has sparked a controversy by allegedly insinuating that non-vegetarians lie, cheat and commit crimes, with the government terming it as "unfortunate" and asking state bodies to remain alert about such content and monitor them.       

"Sensitivities of communities have to be kept in mind. I think it is unfortunate, an occasional aberration happens. But what I would request is that the state body should always be on alert, that is what we can advocate from this ministry," HRD Minister M M Pallam Raju told reporters while replying to queries on the Class VI textbook.
