Investigate role of former chairmen, secretary

Wednesday, 31 August 2022 | PNS | Dehradun

Terming the examination paper leak case of Uttarakhand Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UKSSSC) as a scam equivalent to the infamous Vyapam scam of Madhya Pradesh, the former Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president and Chakrata MLA, Pritam Singh has said that the former chairmen and the secretary of the UKSSSC should also be brought into the ambit of investigation. He demanded that considering the sensitivity of the scam and its extent, the State government should order a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe under a sitting judge of the High Court.  Interacting with the media persons at Vidhan Sabha here on Tuesday, Singh said that the Special Task Force (STF) has made a number of arrests in the paper leak case but it has taken no action against the officers of the UKSSSC till date. He said that the term of the tender of the agency given contract for examinations had ended but even then the commission continued to bestow favour on it. He said that two former chairmen of the UKSSSC resigned from their post when irregularities came to fore in the commission but this act of theirs does not make them clean and their role should also be investigated. Similarly he said that the role of the then secretary of the UKSSSC who has now been transferred to the secretariat should be investigated in the case that has ruined the future of thousands of unemployed in the State. The Congress leader also questioned the logic behind getting the question papers of the recruitment examinations printed from the private companies even though the commission has its own printing press and the State government has its own printing press in Roorkee.

Singh claimed that the agency which has been found involved in the scam is also involved in conducting examinations of the HNB Uttarakhand Medical University and the GB Pant University of Agriculture and Technology (GBPUAT) which puts these examinations under the cloud also.
