CJP to Investigate Alleged Exam Paper Leak in Punjab Amid Protests
CJP's Commitment to Investigate
Abhijit Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach People's Party (CJP), announced plans to investigate the alleged exam paper leak in Punjab, promising to reveal their next steps soon. This statement came on Sunday, just a day after the protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, which lasted for 36 days, concluded following the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The march led by CJP demanded action regarding the alleged NEET exam paper leak and the associated student suicides. Protesters ended their demonstration after the government agreed to their demands.
Future Strategy and Ongoing Discussions
Dipke mentioned that they would soon announce their future strategy and requested some time for planning. He also indicated that discussions with the government are ongoing regarding the FIRs filed against students involved in the protests, insisting that no cases should be registered against them. He emphasized that negotiations are in progress concerning the existing cases.
AAP Leader Dismisses Allegations
Manish Sisodia, a leader from the Aam Aadmi Party, dismissed the claims of paper leaks in Punjab, labeling them as propaganda from the BJP and Congress. He asserted that there have been no paper leaks in Punjab over the past four and a half years and accused both parties of spreading rumors through 'paid trolls' on social media. According to Sisodia, the issue pertains to students from a university who attempted to use Bluetooth-enabled smart pens to cheat during exams. The university administration confiscated these devices and alerted the police.
Punjab CM's Statement on Exam Integrity
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann echoed similar sentiments, stating that there have been no exam paper leaks during his government's tenure. He reported incidents of cheating where Bluetooth pens were used to scan papers, with answers being sent outside the examination hall and then relayed back to students. Mann noted that those aiding in cheating, as well as the students, were apprehended within ten minutes of the exam's start. Reports suggest that those facilitating cheating charged between 300,000 to 500,000 rupees per paper.
