Ashok Agarwal, National President at All India Parents Association (AIPA) said that he has written to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the video.
He also said that Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who holds the education portfolio, must take responsibility for what the DoE has done to degrade education and issue a public statement.

Agarwal said in his letter, "I have come across a video wherein DoE is instructing students not to leave the answer sheets blank and write anything."
"He also added that he had a word with CBSE that if students write even questions in sheet, they will be given marks. Such a person seems undeserving to be the DoE. Please take necessary action," he added.
