Which freedom fighter got severest punishment: Savarkar quiz in Kerala sparks row
A school quiz question in Kerala has ignited a political controversy. The question asked about the freedom fighter receiving the most severe British punishment. General education minister N Samsudheen ordered an inquiry into the unauthorized quiz. Opposition parties accused the government of promoting a Sangh Parivar agenda. Officials are investigating who prepared and conducted the quiz.
According to reports, teachers associated with the Social Science Club had prepared the questionnaire.
Former Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan accused the Congress-led UDF government in the state of “colluding” with the RSS and “glorifying” Savarkar.
The questionnaire was used in schools in Kasaragod district.
