Itanagar, May 13: Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Bosiram Siram has strongly condemned the alleged NEET paper leakage scandal, stating that repeated examination irregularities have severely shaken public confidence in the country’s examination system.
In a statement, Siram said the controversy was not just an examination issue but an attack on the future, aspirations, and hard work of lakhs of students and parents. He alleged that repeated incidents of paper leaks and administrative failures under the BJP-led government had created an educational crisis and eroded trust in merit-based examinations.
Criticising the Centre for its alleged inaction, Siram claimed the government had failed to ensure transparency, accountability, and institutional reforms in national-level examinations. He termed the BJP government a “Paper Leak Sarkar,” alleging that students’ futures were being compromised due to corruption, negligence, and governance failures.
The APCC president demanded the resignation of the Union Education Minister, taking moral responsibility for repeated controversies surrounding national examinations. He also sought immediate re-conduct of the NEET examination under strict supervision and transparent mechanisms to ensure fairness and equal opportunity for all students.
Siram further demanded a fair and time-bound investigation into the alleged paper leak, exemplary punishment for those involved, and strengthening of examination security and monitoring systems.
Expressing concern over the hardships faced by students from Arunachal Pradesh, particularly those from remote and economically weaker backgrounds, he urged the Govt of India and the National Testing Agency (NTA) to establish and strengthen NEET and CUET examination centres across the state.
He added that the APCC stands firmly with students, parents, and the academic community on the issue.
