The ‘Jai Shri Ram’ slogan and ‘cut money’ that became dominant tropes within the Lok Sabha elections this year, especially in the political discourse of West Bengal, have now discovered an area in a query paper of a faculty.
At the Akna Union High School in Hooghly district, fifty-five km from Kolkata, class 10 students performing for the Bengali language paper were asked to write down how the Jai Shri Ram slogan was disrupting the society and how the return of cut money, then again, became reaping benefits humans.
In an examination hung on August 5, students of the college had been asked to write down a ‘report for a newspaper’ on any of the two – ‘harmful consequences at the society of chanting Jai Shri Ram’ or at the ‘ambitious step of the authorities to forestall corruption through returning reduce money.’
The examination paper’s obvious political overtones have generated a furor among BJP leaders, who lashed out at the college authorities in conjunction with the ruling Trinamool Congress in the nation.
Accusing the faculty of becoming a mouthpiece of the government, Subir Nag, president of the Hooghly district organizational unit of BJP, was quoted as announcing, “They accuse us of saffronizing training; however, now, the human beings of the kingdom must see what they’re doing. The instructors have ended up slaves of the ruling celebration. I don’t have words robust enough to sentence it.”
While no reliable criticism was lodged, the college determined to cancel the query. “Since the problem changed into objected by way of a phase of human beings, we have determined to cancel these two questions. If anybody tried to reply to it, the scholar might take delivery of full marks,” headmaster Rohit Pyne informed News18. Beyond that, Subhashus Gosh, the teacher who set the query paper, has issued an apology, which he delivered.
Recently, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee informed party leaders that she had received ‘cut money’ proceedings being demanded even for the ‘Samabyathi’ scheme. A fee of Rs 2,000 is given to terrible people to carry out the remaining rites for their family members.
A visibly indignant Mamata stated, “You requested Rs two hundred as ‘reduce money’ for the ‘Samabyathi’ scheme. Some leaders are demanding a 25 percent commission for offering housing grants. I warned all folks who are indulged in such practice. Some aged women aren’t getting old-age pensions. It may be very unlucky. I will make Lankans punish folks who practice illegal practices. She also expressed her displeasure over ‘Jai Shri Ram’ slogans in Bengal and alleged the BJP is trying to divide the people on religious grounds.
