Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the leak of CBSE exam papers contending that the country was mired in different scams because of "weak chowkidar".
Stepping up its offensive, the Congress demanded the resignation of HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar and CBSE chairperson Anita Karwal and pressed for an independent investigation by a Delhi High Court judge into the leak of CBSE question papers.
"For a truly independent investigation to take place, the HRD minister and the CBSE chairperson has to be removed," Randeep Singh Surjewala, in-charge of the AICC communications department, told reporters here.
Rahul took to Twitter to hit out at the Modi government over the CBSE issue. "The exam leaks destroy the hopes and futures of millions of students. The Congress always protected our institutions. This is what happens when institutions are destroyed by the RSS/BJP," Rahul tweeted.
"How many leaks? Data leak! Aadhar leak! SSC Exam leak! Election date leak! CBSE papers leak! There is a leak in everything, the 'chowkidar' is weak," the Congress president said referring to Modi's own pre-2014 declarations that he would be the 'chowkidar' of the nation and not the prime minister.
Surjewala said the question paper leak has exposed the vicious hold the "exam mafia" had on the highest academic institutions of the country.
Surjewala said as the exam mafia is running amok, the students and HRD minister instead of accepting responsibility are busy targeting political opponents in West Bengal.
"It may just turn out to be the tip of the iceberg as multiple news reports and social media stories on how Biology, Chemistry and English papers have also been leaked are also surfacing now," the Congress spokesperson said.
