On Monday, Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni expressed concern over the communal insensitivity in the Bangla First Paper question.
“It is unfortunate that a question like this somehow skipped the scrutiny of the moderators,” she said while talking to reporters at the International Mother Language Institute.
She added: “We are trying to identify those involved so that they refrain from such acts in the future.”
She further said Bangladesh is a secular and democratic country. It is very unfortunate that any exam paper contains any anti-communal remarks.
