KOLKATA: After an image of a Class 10 model question paper, asking students to mark "Azad Kashmir" in a map, went viral on social media, a political row has erupted in West Bengal. The opposition BJP has claimed it to be a "jihadi conspiracy" and the TMC termed it a mistake that it doesn't support.
West Bengal Board of Secondary Education President Ramanuj Ganguly, when contacted, conceded that the "goof up" has taken place in the test papers published by the autonomous body, and action is being taken against those responsible for the mistake.
"We published a compilation of question papers provided by various schools. In one such question paper, this mistake was identified. A probe is being conducted, and stern action will be initiated against editorial team members who were entrusted with the task of proof-reading the papers," Ganguly told PTI.
