Former Haryana CM Om Prakash Chautala appears for Class 10 English exam

Sirsa: Om Prakash Chautala, former chief minister of Haryana, appeared for his Class 10 English subject examination on Wednesday. He wrote the paper at Arya Kanya Senior Secondary School in Sirsa.

Om Prakash Chautala appeared for Class 12 examinations under the Haryana Open Board earlier this year. However, his result was withheld on August 5 because he had not yet passed a Class 10 English exam. In order to get his Class 12 result released, he sat for the Class 10 exam on Wednesday.

On reaching the examination centre, former CM OP Chautala told the media, “I am a student - no comments.” He did not answer any political questions. After saying this, the 86-year-old went to write his paper.

Earlier, OP Chautala had requested a writer from the education department for the examination. This request was accepted. He completed his exam and left the centre after two hours.

OP Chautala passed Class 10 from the National Institute of Open School in 2017 at the age of 82. He secured 53.4 per cent marks in Urdu, Science, Social Studies and Indian Culture and Heritage.

For his Class 10 examinations, he studied in Tihar Jail while serving his sentence in the JBT recruitment scam case from 2013 to July 2, 2021.
