New Delhi The names of film actors Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan are being used to teach alphabets in several schools using private publishers books, said a BJP member in the Rajya Sabha.

Through his Special Mention, Kalraj Mishra wanted the government to enforce strict regulation to control "confusing publications" brought out by private publishers for children.

He said according to the private publications, the pupils are taught to remember the alphabets like 'A' stands for Aishwarya Rai. Roshan's name is also used in the alphabets.

Mishra said schools use private publishers books on the pretext of shortage of NCERT books.

Avtar Singh Karimpuri (BSP) drew the attention of the House to the condition of 5,000 Indians working in Spain in the hotel industry, agricultural and piggery farms. He said these workers are facing the difficulty due to change in the immigration rules.
