Responding to questions on the recent examination paper leak that has triggered protests by students and youth in New Delhi and other parts of the country, Sangma said a thorough investigation was necessary to identify those responsible and ensure accountability.
On the Opposition’s demand for the resignation of the Union Education Minister, Sangma said any decision should be based on the findings of a fair and comprehensive investigation, with appropriate action taken against those found guilty.
