Mysuru/Nanjangud: Nanjangud MLA B. Harshavardhan on Wednesday met Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and requested him to take steps to ensure that there is no room for a recurrence of any incidents that insult and disrespect  Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.

The MLA met the CM in Mysuru when the latter had come to city for campaigning for the MLC elections. The MLA also submitted a memorandum to Bommai in this regard.

The MLA said that while revising the textbooks, not referring to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar as the Architect of the Constitution,  was unacceptable. The lessons on Saint Basavanna and Rashtrakavi Kuvempu were also not true to the facts, in the opinion of many. Such omissions should not recur in the future as that would hurt the sentiments of the people, he said in the memorandum.
