Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) President Raj Thackeray recently asked students and parents to “boycott the re-examinations” proposed by the government over the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) question paper leak.
He stated, “The government is incapable of safeguarding the question papers and yet it is the students who have to bear the anguish of a re-exam. Why should they (students) be made to undergo this ordeal for no fault of theirs? I appeal to all the parents of CBSE students in Maharashtra and rest of the country, that under no circumstances should you permit your children to sit for the re-examinations. If you bow and adjust now, you will be made to bend more in future.”
He added, “The government must be given a clear message to set its house in order first instead of compelling the students to suffer for its mistakes. If the parents falter now, and the students write the examinations again, then such mistakes will keep recurring in future.”
