CBSE Drops Controversial Passage In Class 10 English Exam After Uproar
On December 13, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) said they will drop a Class 10 English exam question. The question is on "disobedience of wives". CBSE tweeted, “it has been decided to drop the question and award full marks to the students for this passage.” Congress President Sonia Gandhi said the objectionable question must be withdrawn immediately. Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi called the English paper of the CBSE class 10 board exam downright disgusting. Gandhi said it was a typical RSS-BJP ploy to crush the morale and future of the youth. Gandhi added, “Hard work pays. Bigotry doesn’t.” Rahul Gandhi’s sister and senior congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also slammed the central government. She tweeted, “Unbelievable!
