Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

Congratulations

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) congratulates the
students and youth of the country for fighting for accountability over paper
leaks that led to the unfortunate suicides of 22 students.

 

This victory would not have been possible but for the steadfast resolve
displayed and sacrifices made by the student and youth of the country
supported by various sections of the people, who refused to relent even in
the face of lathis and other repressive measures used by the administration
under directions from the Union Government. The courage and determination
shown by the youngsters augers well for Indian democracy.

 

While we welcome the stepping down of the Union Minister for Education,
Dharmendra Pradhan, this should be followed by the disbanding of the
National Testing Agency that is primarily responsible for the repeated paper
leaks. The CPI(M) would like to reiterate its demand for decentralisation of
the exams. The National Education Policy, 2020, that has commercialisation,
centralisation and communalisation as its core should also be scrapped.
Unless these measures are taken, the same saga of paper leaks and
deprivations will continue. We are hopeful that students and youth movements
will campaign and agitate on these demands that have a bearing on their
future.

For CPI(M) Central Committee Office
