Opposition hits out at govt over issues related to CBSE exam papers

New Delhi: The Opposition on Monday targeted the Centre, especially Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, over reported issues concerning CBSE examination papers.

"The Modi-Shah duo has turned yet another institution into a symbol of rigging. For the first time in decades, such serious questions have been raised about the CBSE board exams. Eighteen and a half lakh children took the exam, and for a week now, complaints of OSM wrong marking, and evaluation glitches have gone unheard, while the education minister clings to his chair. A 17-year-old boy, whose answer sheet was wrongly evaluated, turned to social media in hope of justice. But instead of help, he got abuse - BJP's IT cell branded him an 'anti-national', called him a 'Soros agent', a part of the 'Deep State'. A 17-year-old boy raises his voice for his future, and BJP turns him into a traitor. The truth is - Modi government fears the youth and Gen Z because they are now asking questions. And anyone who asks questions, this government defames, intimidates, crushes," Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said.
