BSSC Scam: CPI(ML) Demands High-Level Judicial Enquiry

CPI(ML) has been leading protests across Bihar on the issue of the massive scam in the Bihar Staff Selection Commission (BSSC)’s job examinations. As a result of the protests, the Bihar government has been forced to cancel the BSSC examinations. CPI(ML) State Secretary Comrade Kunal pointed out that while this cancellation was the outcome of pressure from students’ agitations, it was necessary to ensure that the real culprits who are being shielded by the Nitish government are held accountable and punished. From the topper scam to the BSSC scam, it is evident that education and employment have been reduced to a mockery in Bihar. Students from marginalized backgrounds are the worst affected and bear the brunt of this situation. Nitish Kumar has converted the entire education system in the state into a business, and children of the poor have no place in this ‘business’. The current government which makes tall claims of social justice is actually a government of social injustice.

Comrade Kunal pointed out that there is ample reason to believe that the government is working to shield the true culprits. CPI(ML) has demand that there should be a high level judicial probe investigating the possibility of political protection in this matter. Such a scam would not be possible without political protection. CPI(ML) demanded immediate withdrawal of all false cases slapped on AISA leaders who have been protesting against the BSSC examination scam.
