Former Human Resource and Development Minister Kapil Sibal lashed out at the BJP-ruled NDA government over the CBSE exam question paper leaks, saying that had the leak happened under UPA rule, the outrage would have been far greater.
“Most surprising is that nobody is taking responsibility for these leaks. Had it been our government, you know what would have happened,” he said, adding that a government that could not protect a question paper leak had no right in claiming that they could protect the nation.
“Students are suffering across the country; education has become too costly for people,” he added.
Alleging that the government knew about the leaks much before the exam, Sibal added, “CBSE chief knew eight hours before the exam, as the email with the leaked paper was circulated at 1.30 am.”
The CBSE paper leak is not the only leak. The SSC scam was another major concern. If the government does not take accountability for its wrongdoings, then who will
Earlier, six students from Jharkhand were detained by the police for questioning for their alleged role in the CBSE paper leak.
According to ANI, the students were held in Chatra's Sadar Police Station area, raising questions on how many students actually received the leaked CBSE paper.
Earlier, the Crime Branch of the Delhi police raided several coaching institutes in the city and questioned the owner of one on Thursday to reach those who leaked CBSE's Class X mathematics and Class XII economics papers on WhatsApp. So far, 30 students have been questioned for their role in the case.
The crackdown comes a day after CBSE said the two exams will be held again following reports of paper leak. The top education body's move means 22 lakh students — 5 lakh in Class XII economics and 17 lakh in Class X maths — will have to take the tests again.
In Delhi, 30 people, including students, teachers and private tutors were been questioned by the Crime Branch. All ten students who received questions are from different convent schools. Students appeared for the mathematics paper on Wednesday, while the economics paper was held on Monday. A total of 28 lakh students took this year's Class X and Class XII exams that began on March 5.
