Minister for School Education and Literacy Madhu Bangarappa criticised right-wing activist Chakravarthi Sulibele’s allegedly mischievous tweet on Karnataka State Examination and Assessment Board scheduling the March 1 preparatory examination for SSLC students in the afternoon.
Addressing a press conference in Mysuru, Mr. Bangarappa referred to the activist’s tweet and clarified that the SSLC examination scheduled for March 1 had been slotted for afternoon while the rest were slated in the morning session as the II PUC examinations were also scheduled to start on the same day.
“Many schools were also the centres for II PUC exams. To avoid a clash, we pushed the SSLC preparatory exams to the afternoon session,” he said before lashing out at the activist’s tweet for questioning if the examination scheduled for March 1, a Friday, had been slotted in the afternoon session to accommodate “namaz”.
