A day after the training ministry cancelled the College Grants Fee-Nationwide Eligibility Take a look at (UGC-NET), the Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Thursday slammed the BJP-led Centre and demanded a Supreme Courtroom-monitored investigation into the “rip-off”.
“New rip-off out there within the sequence of scams! Cancellation of UGC-NET as a result of compromised integrity of the examination! CBI enquiry has been ordered! Query is can they nab the HEAD?” West Bengal Training Minister Bratya Basu mentioned in a submit on X.
On Wednesday night time, the training ministry introduced the cancellation of the UGC-NET, a day after the examination was held, saying that inputs from the Ministry of House Affairs had advised that “the integrity of the examinations had been compromised”. The UGC-NET is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
The ministry added {that a} recent examination could be performed and the matter could be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for an intensive probe.
Senior TMC chief Kunal Ghosh mentioned the occasion calls for a Supreme Courtroom-monitored investigation to show the rip-off. “The CBI is underneath the Centre due to this fact the investigation won’t deliver out the reality. The actual perpetrator won’t be punished. The CBI probe will defend them as an alternative. The UGC NET has change into an enormous rip-off. A Supreme Courtroom-monitored investigation is required to show this rip-off,” Ghosh mentioned.
The BJP, in the meantime, criticised the TMC for talking on issues associated to the training sector, mentioning that a number of state ministers are in jail for his or her involvement in a number of scams.
“The TMC ought to look within the mirror earlier than talking on this situation. Money price crores was recovered from the home of former state minister Partha Chatterjee who’s in jail. As a substitute of focusing on the Centre, political events should welcome the training ministry’s transfer to scrap the examination and ask for a CBI probe after discovering irregularities,” BJP MLA Sankar Ghosh mentioned.
