We should steadfastly oppose any move to dilute the scribe guidelines. The only
point of discussion is the alternatives available to strengthen the
invigilation process.
We should rightfully use the UNCRPD provisions to strengthen the case.

I think you are deviating from the main point, that is qualification
of the scribe. Main objection of UPSC and other examination

It has ruined all the game.
Writing exams on computers or writing exams in Braille are the best
