Cong demands thorough probe into DSSSB exam issue

Terming the AAP Government's decision to cancel the examination for the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board for grade 2 candidates, as a "gross injustice" to the genuine successful candidates, Delhi Congress today sought a thorough probe into the whole issue.
In a letter to Lt Governor Najeeb Jung, DPCC president Ajay Maken said, "in case of any irregularity, severe punishment should be meted out to those found guilty, but the genuinely successful candidates should not be penalised."
He also sought LG's intervention in the matter so as to ensure that the genuine candidates are not meted out "injustice". Maken wrote to the LG after a large number of candidates who appeared for the exams met him today.

Addressing a press conference at the DPCC office, chief spokesperson Sharmistha Mukherjee said the guilty, whether they are officials or candidates, should be punished but at the same time the innocent should not be made to suffer, either.
She demanded that the vigilance report about the DSSSB exam results should be made public as the case involves the future of young people.
"It was the duty of the Government to ensure proper conduct of the exams, and if there was any discrepancy in the exam process, then the AAP Government in Delhi and the BJP-led Central Government should be held responsible," she said.

Delhi Government cancelling the whole examination, alleging discrepancies in the examination, Mukherjee said was very unfair to the genuine successful candidates, and wanted to know on what basis the examination has been cancelled.
She reiterated the Congress party's demand that the vigilance report should be put in the public domain to bring out the truth.
