Knews Desk- Political rhetoric has intensified amid the controversy over NEET paper leak and exam security. Aam Aadmi Party’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal has launched a scathing attack on the central government, terming the examination system and security measures as a “comedy circus”. He raised questions on the government’s recent decisions—the temporary ban on Telegram and the use of air force to transport exam material.
Amidst the temporary ban on Telegram and the ongoing debate over the security arrangements of NEET-UG re-exam, Kejriwal said that the government does not seem to have any intention of stopping paper leaks, rather it is only taking cosmetic steps. He alleged that the entire network of paper leaks is a “business worth billions of rupees”, with the money allegedly reaching the top.
Kejriwal said in a video message released on social media platform He questioned whether such steps can actually end the problem of paper leaks or is it just a show-off.
He said, “Doesn’t all this seem like a comedy circus? First the matter of Air Force, now the matter of app ban – this will not solve the problem.” Kejriwal also claimed that if the system is not changed then it is not possible to control issues like paper leaks. He said that for this the public will have to come out on the streets and bring about major changes in the system.
The AAP chief further alleged that the money linked to the paper leak network was also being used for political horse-trading. He claimed that crores of rupees are being used to sabotage MPs and MLAs, which raises questions on the democratic system.
Meanwhile, senior Aam Aadmi Party leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh also targeted the central government. He said that sometimes there is talk of delivering the paper through the Air Force and sometimes it is claimed that the problem will be solved by banning the app. Sanjay Singh termed it as a “gimmick” and said that such announcements will not solve the real problem.
Opposition parties allege that the government is only taking immediate and symbolic steps, while the examination system needs deeper reforms. The government’s stand is that strict measures are necessary in view of security and law and order. At present the matter has taken the form of a political controversy and the debate regarding reform of the examination system is likely to intensify further.
