New Delhi, Oct. 11 -- The Congress on Sunday said a Parliamentary standing committee report has catalogued the "grave incompetence and malpractice" in the NTA and the Ministry of Education, and hoped that the Modi govt "sheds its
arrogance for the limited time it has remaining" and takes the report seriously.
The Congress also said the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education's report, titled "Reforms and Strengthening of the National Testing Agency (NTA)", has highlighted that the Ministry of Education made the "blatantly false" claim to the panel "that no paper leak" occurred in an exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) since its formation in 2017.
In a statement, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education under the chairmanship of Rajya Sabha MP Mukul Wasnik "catalogues the grave incompetence and malpractice in the NTA and the Ministry of Education".
Sharing the statement on X, Ramesh said, "GyaneshGate is dominating the news now but three months ago it was NTAgate that had launched the youth protest movement.
Here is our statement on the NTA based on the report of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education that has just been submitted to the Chairman, Rajya Sabha."
Ramesh said the Ministry of Education made the "blatantly false and audacious claim" to the Parliamentary committee "that no paper leak has occurred in an exam conducted by the NTA since its formation in 2017 till 2025."
