RSS-BJP ploys to crush moral & future of youth: Rahul Gandhi on controversial passage in CBSE exam of class 10th

New Delhi, (The States. news) Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday criticised the gender –insensitive passage in the English paper of the class 10th CBSE exam held on December 11 and said, the comprehension passage was downright disgusting.

Taking to Twitter, Rahul said, “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,” Rahul tweeted.

On Saturday, the CBSE conducted the English paper of class 10th carrying a comprehension passage with sentences, “What people were slow to observe was that the emancipation of the wife destroyed the parent’s authority over the children. The mother did not exemplify the obedience upon which she still tried to insist… In bringing the man down from his pedestal the wife and the mother deprived herself, in fact of the means of discipline”.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi also condemned the incident and demanded the withdrawal of the passage.

“Withdraw the passage given for the students in the CBSE exam papers at once and see that it is never repeated. There should be an apology also,” Gandhi said while raising the issue in the zero hour in Lok Sabha.(uni) (For Hindi News : mediasaheb.com)
