He said the government has taken a decision to constitute a fast-track court and directed the departments to work on constituting it and also other strict measures.
“The departments have informed me late night that the draft proposal in this regard with provision of strict punishment is ready and the same will be taken up during the meeting of the Union cabinet. After discussing the matter with my cabinet colleagues, we will take a final decision.”
From Monday, when the second week of the Parliament session begins, “our efforts would be to get the proposed measures passed by both the houses of Parliament”.
“Our initial response to the paper leak was to ensure that students’ year is not lost and therefore “we ensured timely re-examination and declaration of results”. The results have come and successful candidates are happy and are in the process of getting admission, he added.
