NSUI calls for bandh of Guj colleges on recruitment exam issue

The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) on Friday gave a call for a state-wide bandh of all colleges in Gujarat on December 7 over the issue of alleged irregularities in the recruitment exam held last month.

The students' wing of the Congress gave the bandh call to express solidarity with the youths demanding cancellation of recruitment exam over the allegations of irregularities.

Meanwhile, a large number of youths continued with the protest in Gandhinagar for the third consecutive day on Friday over their demand for cancellation of the exam, even as the state government on Thursday announced formation of a four- member SIT to probe alleged irregularities, including mass- copying and paper leak.

The protesters alleged that the announcement of SIT was just an eyewash and said their protest will continue until the government scraps the exam.

Gujarat NSUI president, Mahipalsinh Gadhvi, said, "Both- NSUI and Youth Congress- are with the agitating candidates. We fully support their demand for cancellation of the exam,"
