[<<Amid massive protests over the paper leaks issue, Congress president
Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter to target Prime Minister Narendra Modi with

leak! SSC Exam leak! Election date leak! CBSE papers leak! There is a leak

New Delhi: Even as students, angry over the re-examination of the Class XII
Economics and Class X Mathematics papers, took to Delhi streets shouting
“Stop playing hit and trial with our lives; It’s not the students who need
a retest, it’s the system,” the Congress demanded that Union HRD minister
Prakash Javadekar and the CBSE board chairperson Anita Karwal be sacked and
a probe be ordered by a high court judge into the matter. The CBSE is
expected to announce the date of re-examination on Monday or Tuesday.

Amid massive protests over the paper leaks issue, Congress president Rahul
Gandhi took to Twitter to target Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the
hashtag “BasEkAurSaal”, a reference to the BJP government being left with
one year of its term.

Going into rhyme, Mr Gandhi tweeted, “How many leaks? Data leak! Aadhar
leak! SSC Exam leak! Election date leak! CBSE papers leak! There is a leak
in everything, the ‘chowkidar’ is weak.”

Apart from the reference to Mr Modi’s poll refrain that he would work as a
watchman and stop wrongdoings, over several tweets Mr Gandhi alleged that
the “exam mafia” was being encouraged under the Modi government.

“The exam leaks destroy the hopes and futures of millions of students. The
Congress always protected our institutions. This is what happens when
institutions are destroyed by the RSS/BJP. Believe me when I say, this is
only the beginning,” he said.

The BJP rejected Rahul Gandhi’s charge, saying the Congress president was
referring to the UPA rule. “Rahul Gandhi is remembering his days,” Union
minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said at a Cabinet briefing.

Many students claimed that almost all the papers had been leaked a day
before the examinations and demanded that if reexamination is to be held,
it should be held for all the subjects.

The Delhi Police has questioned 25 people, including 18 students and five
tutors, in connection with the alleged leak, including the owner of a
coaching centre in Rajender Nagar who is suspected to be behind the alleged
leak.

The HRD minister, who termed the paper leak issue “unfortunate”, said,
“This (paper leak) has been a breach by the culprits and we will not let go
any culprit scot-free. The police is on the job and I am very sure, they
will nab the culprit as they have done in case of the SSC exam leak case.
We have also instituted internal inquiry.”

Assuring that efforts are being made to make the examination system
“fool-proof”, he could “understand the pain, anguish and frustrations” of
students and parents because “we are one of them” and that he could not
sleep last night.

Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala, however, demanded that
responsibility be fixed and the HRD minister and CBSE chairperson Anita
Karwal be removed.

Addressing a press conference, Mr Surjewala 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 X and XII
were leaked.

The Delhi Police, which had registered two cases in connection with the
leaks, started questioning the owner of a coaching centre in Rajender Nagar
whose name was shared by the CBSE in its complaint and is suspected to be
behind the alleged leak.

The office of the CBSE had received an unaddressed envelope on March 26
containing four sheets of handwritten answers of the Class 12 Economics
paper, the board said in its complaint to the Delhi Police.

In its complaint to the police, the board has said that they received a
complaint by fax on March 23 from an “unknown source” that a man running a
coaching institute in Rajinder Nagar was involved in paper leakage.

Special CP (crime branch) R.P. Upadhyay said, “We have no information that
this leakage is pan-India, but if such a thing emerges, we will send teams
outside Delhi.” He said the police is trying to find the origin of the
leakage and how it was transmitted and the beneficiaries.

“Twenty five people have been questioned so far. Both the papers were
available before the scheduled examination dates. The person whose name was
mentioned in the CBSE complaint to the police had also received the paper,
which was circulated through WhatsApp,” Mr Upadhyay said.
