Kejriwal’s claim that no examination paper was leaked in Punjab is ‘height of shamelessness’: Malhotra

Delhi BJP President Harsh Malhotra has said Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal’s claim that no examination paper was leaked in Punjab is ”the height of shamelessness”.

“For the past 15 days, the entire country has been discussing allegations that the Pharmacist examination paper was leaked in Punjab, and that examination papers had been leaked twice earlier as well. There have been video news seen showing police lathi charge students demanding resignation of Punjab Minister across the state,” Malhotra said in a statement on Monday.

The Delhi BJP President said students in Punjab have been continuously demanding the resignation of Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains. “However, while continuously provoking and attempting to turn the student movement in Delhi violent, Arvind Kejriwal remained indifferent to the demand for his own Minister’s resignation,” he added.

The Delhi BJP President said that after the student protest at Jantar Mantar ended last Saturday, ordinary students and journalists began repeatedly questioning the leaders who had been sitting on the protest site, asking them to go to Punjab and Karnataka and hold protests over the alleged paper leaks there as well.

“Under pressure from the leaders of that “cockroach party,” a rattled Arvind Kejriwal shamelessly claimed that no paper had been leaked in Punjab and, instead, that his government had stopped cheating,” Malhotra said.

“If no Pharmacist examination paper or any other examination paper was leaked in Punjab, then why did it take them 15 to 18 days to deny the allegations? Clearly, this is an afterthought by Arvind Kejriwal to save his government, and the people understand it very well,” he said.
