Question on Jai Shri Ram in Bengal school exam sparks row

Kolkata: Questions related to ''Jai Shri Ram'' chant and West Bengal government''s move to refund ''cut-money'' in a school exam paper have triggered protests in the state.

Class 10 students appearing for the Bangla language examination at Akna Union High School in Hooghly on Monday were asked to write a newspaper report on how the ''Jai Shri Ram'' chant was spreading unrest in society, and how the West Bengal government''s decision to refund ''cut-money'' was a brave move.

BJP activists protested and demanded the arrest of Subhashish Ghosh, the teacher who had set the question paper alleging that he "tried to instill his ideas of divisive politics in the minds of young students".
