BJP Objects AAP-Related Questions in Punjab Class 12 Exam, Calls It Political Influence

Chandigarh: The Punjab School Education Board's Class 12 Political Science exam, held on March 4, sparked controversy after two questions related to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) were asked. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) strongly objected to the inclusion of these questions, accusing the Punjab government of political influence in education.

Govt Try to Shape Young Minds Politically

The exam included a question asking when AAP was founded and another requiring students to describe the policies and programs of the party. Punjab BJP leader Vineet Joshi criticized this move, stating that the government was trying to shape young minds politically. "The Punjab government wants to influence the youth politically by using the Punjab School Education Board," he said.

He further questioned the board's decision to focus on AAP alone. "If questions related to Aam Aadmi Party have been asked, then it also means that Aam Aadmi Party and its policies and works are also taught in schools. Why have only questions related to the Aam Aadmi Party been asked? Questions about Congress, Akali Dal, and BJP could also have been asked in this," Joshi added.

Plans to Take Action Against Issue

The BJP leader confirmed that his party planned to take action against the issue. "We will soon write a letter to the government regarding this," he stated.
