BSP Ali Danish Ali targets govt on row over proposed removal of chapter on poet Iqbal from DU syllabus

New Delhi, May 28 (PTI) BSP MP Danish Ali on Sunday hit out at the Modi government over Delhi University's Academic Council passing a motion to remove a chapter on poet Muhammad Iqbal from the political science curriculum.

"Removing Allama Iqbal's unit from Delhi University's Under Graduate syllabus and playing 'Saare Jahan se Achcha' in the background during the inauguration of New Parliament exposes the contradiction of 'New India'," Ali said.

He was referring to the tune of the song playing in the background of a short film screened on the construction of the new Parliament building during the inauguration ceremony on Sunday.
