Examinations deceptive bid for political gains: Hurriyat

Holding of board exams in Kashmir was a “deceptive attempt” by the state government to reap political gains, hardline Hurriyat Conference headed by Syed Ali Shah Geelani said today, a day after PM Narendra Modi praised high attendance in the annual tests.
“Conducting examinations was purely a deceptive attempt to achieve political gains and get the applause from the masters in Delhi,” Hurriyat spokesman said.
In his monthly radio address, Modi had yesterday said high participation of students in the recent Board exams in Kashmir reflected their resolve to strive for a better future through studies.
