The State government has filed a police complaint in connection with a fake news on X, formerly Twitter, in the name of its school textbooks. Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty, in the complaint to the State Police Chief, alleged that it was another bid to spread animosity against the State.
A handle on X by the name of ‘Mr Sinha’ had posted pages from a textbook attributing it to be one published by the State government. The post had content and pictures with the aim of “sowing seeds of divisiveness in society and harming Kerala’s good name,” the Minister said.
The post claimed that communal content in the textbook pages was taught by the State government in its schools and that was how “commies brainwash the little kids.”
