BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has stirred a hornet's nest in the state by announcing that Bhagvad Gita would be taught in all schools, minorities dubbing the move as an attempt to saffronise(Hindu talibasisation) education.No one is opposed to Gita as such but wanted that teachings from , the Bible and the Guru Granth Sahib and other scriptures be also included in school courses for having a level playing field for all stake holders of this nation

The CM made this announcement at a function recently held in Indore following which he invited much criticism.Chouhan, however remained unfazed by the opposition and remarked that nobody could find anything wrong with the teaching of Gita which is a sacred text for all Hindus.
Reacting to this,GCIC is deeply concerned about this, "India is a secular country where no one can be allowed to talk like this."

Leader of Opposition in Madhya Pradesh Assembly, Ajay Singh said it is an attempt to saffronise the education system in the state.
"Schools are not meant for doing 'havans' or 'Gita Paath' and we will oppose the move vociferously in the entire state
Muslims and Christians criticised the move and said that this was not as per the secular character of the country.
