New Delhi: Congress interim chief Sonia Gandhi on Monday raised in Lok Sabha the issue of inclusion of a 'shockingly regressive passage' in Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) question paper for Grade 10 exam, demands withdrawal of the passage and apology.
Sonia Gandhi said, "I urge the Ministry of Education and CBSE to immediately withdraw this question, issue an apology and conduct a thorough review into this lapse to ensure this is never repeated again".
She said the objectionable question must be withdrawn immediately and a review must be ordered into what led to the "gravest lapse".
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter to target the government over the passage. Terming it "downright disgusting", he said such moves are "typical RSS-BJP ploys to crush the morale and future of the youth".
"Most #CBSE papers so far were too difficult and the comprehension passage in the English paper was downright disgusting. Typical RSS-BJP ploys to crush the morale and future of the youth. Kids, do your best. Hard work pays. Bigotry doesn’t".
