Chandigarh, August 7

The Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) has cancelled the constable recruitment exams held on Saturday and those scheduled for Sunday.

On Saturday evening, HSSC chairman Bhopal Singh said: “We have cancelled the exams as the paper has been leaked.”

Earlier in the day, Congress national general secretary Randeep Surjewala had questioned whether the constable recruitment exam got leaked. “If it is true then who is this ‘paper mafia’ and with whom they are connected. Whether CM would come forward and explain the situation,” he had tweeted.

In a video statement on Twitter, Surjewala said, “Since morning, several reports have started pouring in about the paper leak. The future of lakhs of youth who want to join the police service is at stake.”

CM SHOULD GIVE EXPLANATION

If it is true, then who is this ‘paper mafia’ and with whom they are connected. Whether CM would come forward and explain the situation. —Randeep Surjewala, Congress leader

Demanding a proper inquiry into the matter, he said, “Media reports have informed that paper solvers were caught on the spot in Kaithal. Whether they had the answer key or from where they got it, no fact is coming out.”

Meanwhile, Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee president Kumari Selja on Saturday demanded the dismissal of the HSSC with immediate effect due to the paper leak.

She said under the BJP-JJP government, Haryana had become a stronghold of the paper leak mafia. “Papers are leaked in Haryana every day and then they are cancelled. This government has set a new record in paper leaks. To do justice to the state youth, a judicial inquiry should be conducted to investigate all paper leak cases during the first and second terms of the BJP-JJP government,” Selja added.
