Congress common secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday wrote to Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal urging him to intervene and direct the CBSE to rethink its resolution to go forward with Board examinations in May regardless of the “massive and uncontrolled” rise in Covid-19 instances.
She mentioned lakhs of kids and fogeys have expressed “fears and apprehensions” about assembling at examination centres in the midst of the second wave of Covid-19.
Senior Congress chief Rahul Gandhi too requested the federal government to seek the advice of all stakeholders earlier than making “sweeping decisions”.
He tweeted: “In the light of the devastating Corona second wave, conducting CBSE exams must be reconsidered.”
