BHOPAL : The House on Thursday witnessed commotion on the issue of PSC-2012 paper leak. Congress MLA Ramnivas Rawat had raised the issue through a call attention motion.
He flayed the government for not cancelling the said examination despite STF report clearing saying that the papers had leaked.
Congress members staged a walkout when minister of state Lal Singh Arya said that the examination will not be cancelled.
Rawat, citing cancellation of Ayurveda examination 2014, said why PSC examination was not cancelled when the papers of both preliminary and main examinations had leaked.
Arya said the examination was not cancelled as the preliminary and main rounds of written examinations were already over and merely the interview process remained. Arya said interviews were stopped.
The candidates filed a petition in the High Court, which directed that interviews be conducted within three months.
Arya said an undertaking is being taken from all candidates that if they are found involved in irregularities, then their candidature would be cancelled. The interviews would conclude on July 30.
As many as 23 persons have been arrested in this case so far.
Rawat, citing a judgment of the Supreme Court on confidentiality and transparency in examinations, said if confidentiality of an examination is breached then it should be cancelled. Rawat alleged that Vyapam was made an industry by ministers and it should not be done with the PSC.
Rawat urged the state government to lodge an appeal in the Supreme Court to cancel the examination. Rawat said the Supreme Court has recently directed to provide information to it about examinations conducted for Patwari to PSC levels.
MLA Mahendra Singh Kalukheda claimed that injustice was done to scores of students due to paper leak. Kalukheda said the government had failed to put up its view forcefully in the High Court. He said when STF had all information then it should have been put before the court.
