Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has criticized the government over repeated instances of irregularities in national-level examinations, particularly the NEET-UG paper leak controversy.
Tharoor questioned the credibility of India's examination system compared to global standards, asking why the government is unable to guarantee the fairness and integrity of such a simple process as a national examination.
He held the Centre responsible for the recurring crises, saying it is a lapse on the part of the government and that the dispensation should take action to fix the problem.
The NEET (UG) examination was cancelled and rescheduled for June 21 after allegations of paper leak, with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) continuing its probe and multiple arrests made.
