BHUBANESWAR:
A minor scuffle in between the police and the student members of the All India
Democratic Students’ Organisation (AIDSO) left five injured, including girl
students, while they were demonstrating in front of the Higher Education
Minister’s residence here on Saturday demanding stringent punishment against
the culprits and authorities involved in the Plus II question paper leakage
incident.
More than 50
students were arrested during the demonstration, those who were later released
on PR bond. The organisation also demanded adequate compensation to the
examinees suffered and to stop the ongoing privatisation and commercialisation
of education. “We will strongly protest the police brutality on agitating
students here,” said organisation secretary Shibasis Praharaj.
AIDSO
State president Akshay Das,
vice-presidents Subash Nayak and Ganesh Tripathy said the Government ordered a
Crime Branch inquiry to the incident, which is just an Eye wash, as it happened
in the case of matric examination question paper leakage case. The leakage has
also resulted in the mental trauma both in the students and guardians and
students have lost the confidence upon the present set up, they added.
Similarly,
Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) on Saturday demanded resignation of Higher
Education Minister Badrinarayan Patra for mismanagement in handling the Plus II
examination and leakage of the Physics and Chemistry question paper.
In a Press
statement Odisha Pradesh Sikshyak Sangh president Kailas Acharya said the State
Government has failed to check the continuous leakage of the question paper.
