Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Devendra Fadnavis Friday described the Karnataka government's move to revise school textbooks as minority appeasement and asked Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray to clarify his stand on the matter.

The Karnataka government led by the Congress party Thursday approved the revision of Kannada and Social Science textbooks of Classes 6 to 10 in the state for this academic year by removing the chapters on Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh founder K B Hedgewar and Hindutva ideologue V D Savarkar among others.
