The Congress leader alleged that despite the scale of the reported examination irregularities, no individuals responsible had faced punishment.
Attack on Government Response to Student Protests
Gandhi also criticised the government’s handling of student demonstrations linked to education-related concerns.
"When students raised legitimate questions about education, they were met with batons and detention. Those responsible for the paper leaks are free, while students raising genuine concerns are dragged away and beaten," he said.
He alleged that instead of addressing the concerns of young people, the government was taking action against those raising questions.
The allegations have added to the ongoing political debate between the opposition and the Centre over examination processes, recruitment tests, and concerns raised by students.
The government has faced criticism from opposition parties over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations, while authorities have maintained that action is taken whenever violations are reported. The issue remains a key point of discussion ahead of further political engagements focused on youth, education, and employment concerns.
