Thiruvananthapuram: Throwing its weight behind Kerala assembly speaker A N Shamseer, CPM on Wednesday said the Thalassery MLA need not apologise for his comments against the Centre's education policy.
The party, in its official statement, said Shamseer has not done anything wrong by commenting against the plans to teach children Hindu myths instead of scientific temper.
The CPM secretariat will brief the media in the afternoon to make clear its stance on the development, a source said.
During an event organised at a school in Ernakulam district a few days ago, Shamseer allegedly accused the Centre of trying to teach children Hindu myths instead of the modern advancements in science and technology.
The BJP and outfits such as the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) meanwhile launched a campaign against Shamseer stating they are aggrieved over the speaker's remarks on Lord Ganesh and the mythical 'pushpaka vimanam'.
