Earlier, congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the morning called the Class 10 CBSE English question paper “downright disgusting” and said it was a “typical RSS-BJP ploy” to crush the morale and future of the youth.
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi also slammed the Centre for allegedly promoting “gender stereotyping” and supporting “regressive notions.”
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has now referred the matter to subject experts.
