Opposition leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda has demanded that the BJP government apologize to the youth following the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The Congress party plans to hold the government accountable for widespread paper leaks in competitive examinations.
Why it matters
The issue of examination integrity and paper leaks has become a major political flashpoint in India, impacting millions of job seekers and students.
Former Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda said that after Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation, the BJP led central government must now apologise to the country’s youth, even as the Congress will now demand accountability from the government regarding paper leaks in the Parliament.
“Had Mr. Pradhan accepted moral responsibility and resigned at the very beginning, innocent students would neither have had to face lathi-charges nor endure such a prolonged struggle,” he said, addressing a press conference here.
“The government must now apologise to the youth, the country’s future, whom it subjected to lathi-charges and brutality. Also, the examination system must be made transparent enough to eliminate any possibility of future paper leaks,” he added.
