“Pre-Univeristy College (12th grade) examinations will begin on the same day when SSLC exams conclude. While PUC exams will also be held in the same exam centres where SSLC exams are being held, hence the education department in order to facilitate both the examinations had shifted the last SSLC exam towards afternoon,” said Junaid urging stringent legal action against Hariprakash Konemane.
Konemane had accused the state government of attempting to appease the Muslim community on his social media post.
