Students and Congress youth leaders held protests in several parts of the national capital against CBSE board papers being leaked, accusing the board of negligence and demanding immediate action against the guilty.
While some students gathered at Parliament Street, members of the Congress' National Students' Union of India (NSUI) began marching towards Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar's residence but were stopped. Student groups and the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) also demonstrated outside the CBSE headquarters.
"The leaks have exposed the capture of academic institutions by the exam mafia under the watch of the Modi government, as well as the abdication of authority by the HRD minister and CBSE chairperson," NSUI leader Neeraj Mishra said.
