PTI, NEW DELHI: The Congress today demanded that HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar and CBSE Chairperson Anita Karwal be sacked in the wake of board paper leaks and a probe by a high court judge ordered into the matter.
Alleging that the ‘exam mafia’ was being encouraged under the Modi Government, Congress President Rahul Gandhi said that exam leaks destroy the hopes and future of millions of students and warned that “this is just a beginning”.
He also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying there are a number of “leaks” under this government, which show that “the ‘chowkidar’ is weak”, an apparent reference to Modi’s poll refrain that he would work as a watchman and stop wrongdoings.
“Time to fix accountability and sack HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar and CBSE Chairperson Anita Karwal,” Congress Communications incharge Randeep Surjewala told reporters.
Addressing a press conference, he said it is “shocking and heart rendering” that the future of 24 lakh students is in “severe jeopardy” as the government officially admits that two papers of CBSE Class 10 and 12 were leaked.
