ITANAGAR : Arunachal Pradesh’s Congress unit on Monday backed the nationwide ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ campaign against examination paper leaks, accusing the Centre of jeopardising the future of students and youths across the country.

In a statement, Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) spokesperson Johny Yangfo alleged that repeated examination paper leaks had created uncertainty among students and questioned the Centre’s handling of the education system.

He claimed that the issue had affected the future of lakhs of aspirants and called for urgent reforms to restore confidence in the examination process.

The Congress leader said the party’s nationwide campaign, led by Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi and party chief Mallikarjun Kharge, aimed to reach out to students and highlight their concerns.

Yangfo said the campaign sought to raise awareness about issues affecting the country’s youth and press for greater accountability.

Alleging that the government had failed to address recurring paper leaks, Yangfo said students continued to suffer due to lapses in the examination system.

He also criticised the Union education ministry, claiming that such incidents would continue unless corrective measures were taken.

The leader further referred to the detention of activist Sonam Wangchuk and accused the government of suppressing dissent instead of responding to public concerns.

He claimed that protests against the alleged failures of the government had drawn widespread attention both within the country and abroad.

Expressing concern over reports of students allegedly taking the extreme step following examination-related issues, he urged the government to listen to the voices of the youth and take concrete action to safeguard their future.

Yangfo said thousands of youths in Arunachal Pradesh had joined the campaign and voiced their support for the nationwide movement.

The APCC, under the leadership of its president Bosiram Siram, would continue to stand with students and raise the issue until their concerns were addressed, he added. (Source: PTI)
