The Congress demanded that HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar and CBSE Chairperson Anita Karwal be sacked in the wake of board paper leaks and a probe by a high court judge ordered into the matter. Alleging that the ‘exam mafia' was being encouraged under the Modi government, Congress President Rahul Gandhi said exam leaks destroy the hopes and future of millions of students. He also targeted PM Narendra Modi, saying there are a number of "leaks" under this government, which show that "the chowkidar is weak", an apparent reference to Modi's poll refrain that he would work as a watchman. "Time to fix accountability and sack HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar and CBSE Chairperson Anita Karwal," Congress Communications incharge Randeep Surjewala told the media.
