Sachin Pilot
Giving remark on continuous paper leaks, Congress leader and former Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Sachin Pilot said it is ‘most heinous crime’. While targeting the centre for irregularities in NEET exam, Pilot said those in power who are turning a blind eye to the paper leaks are equally responsible for the crime.
“There is no crime more heinous than a paper leak. Do not leak papers in the country and the state. You all know my stand on paper leaks. I was firm on it yesterday. I am firm on it today and will always be firm on it in future,” Pilot said on Thursday.
He was speaking on Thursday at the Birla Auditorium in this city at the oath-taking ceremony for newly appointed National Students’ Union of India State President Vinod Jakhar to assume leadership.
The Congress leader added: “Whoever has knowingly or unknowingly played with the future of thousands and lakhs of children deserves punishment. I think someone has rightly said that every mistake demands punishment. If you make a mistake, then you should also be punished. No one has the right to play with the future of the youth. No matter how big a leader or officer you are.”
“Preparing for the exam and getting a job has become most difficult in this country. Not only the child but his entire family is involved in this process. The government has no answer to the rigging of the NEET.”
Pilot, calling paper leak a heinous crime, attacked centre
Pilot said: “The government itself is accepting that there has been some irregularity at some places. Now the time has come that we all have to ask why exam papers get leaked. Who gets them done? Nothing will be achieved by doing paperwork, giving speeches and shedding crocodile tears. Those people will have to be caught. After all, who is getting the paper leaked? Those people will have to be forced to act, who tolerate such a heinous crime while being in power. Because those who are tolerating this crime are equally guilty.”
