Rahul Gandhi Backs Protests Against MPSC Paper Leak in Maharashtra
· India · Times of India, The Hindu
Lok Sabha leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi has expressed support for students protesting in Maharashtra against alleged irregularities in the Maharashtra Public Service Commission examinations. Gandhi stated that thousands of students are demonstrating because their trust in the system has been compromised by issues including paper leaks and stalled recruitment. The protests follow a controversy surrounding the Food and Drug Administration Drug Inspector examination held on March 22. The MPSC has since cancelled the recruitment process for these posts after a preliminary inquiry indicated that at least one candidate gained unauthorized access to the question paper. Mumbai Police have arrested six individuals in connection with the case, including three MPSC officials.
Why it matters
The cancellation of the recruitment process affects 488 candidates and highlights ongoing concerns regarding the integrity and administrative oversight of state-level competitive examinations in Maharashtra.
