SFI Condemns Gujarat Question Paper
THE Students Federation of India (SFI) has expressed its deep shock and anguish over the Gujarat governments blatant attempt to poison the young minds by putting communally motivated questions in the examinations currently being conducted by the Gujarat state education board.
In the higher-level English grammar question paper one question was: "If you dont like people, kill them (Rewrite without using if)." At another place in the same question paper, students were asked to combine the following sentences into one: "There are two solutions; one of them is the Nazi solution. If you dont like people kill them, segregate them. Strut up and down. Proclaim that you are the salt of the earth."
The SFI said the Narendra Modi government, which has already poisoned the police and the entire administration, is trying to infiltrate communal hatred and Sangh ideology even into question papers by using Nazi terms. The violence-related questions included in the examinations, at a time when the communal carnage is going on in Gujarat, are intended to keep the violence alive. Saying that this insensible and heinous act of the Gujarat government should be stopped at any cost, the SFI demanded of the president of India urgent intervention to dismiss the barbaric Narendra Modi government in order to protect the constitution that upholds the great values of secularism.
