The controversial cartoon on Dr. B.R Ambedkar, which rocked both House of Parliament on Friday, has been withdrawn from the NCERT text book of Class XI. Human Resources Development Minister Kapil Sibal told Parliament the distribution of the book had also been put on hold.

He said a committee had been set up to review the entire content of the text books. Both Houses witnessed repeated adjournments on Friday after the issue was raised during question hour.

NCERT text book advisors Yogendra Yadav and Suhas Palashikar have resigned in the wake of the cartoon controversy.
