The youth and students’ wing of the Congress today lashed out at Higher Education Minister Badri Narayan Patra and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik while staging a protest in front of the ADM office here over Plus Two question leak.

Hundreds of party supporters chanting slogans protested against the March 12 police assault on Congress activists and demanded resignation of the Higher Education Minister for his alleged role in plus two exam question paper leak and the Chief Minister for his ineffective rule in the State.

District Youth Congress President Sri Nayar demanded a judicial inquiry into the question paper leak and resignation of the Minister for allegedly ruining the future of lakhs of bright students.

Ashok Giri, district Congress Students’ wing president said that the brutal police assault on Congress workers are highly condemnable and demanded booking of the Minister and his arrest for his alleged role in the above issue. “The police investigating the question paper leak case should implicate Badri Narayan Patra for his alleged role in leaking question papers for a price” said Giri.

Nihar Ray, district Congress president who have accompanied the protest said the leak of question paper in the State is not the first time.
