Gujarat assembly adjourned after Congress MLAs protest over alleged paper leak

The Congress MLAs stood up from their seats and displayed posters in connection with the alleged paper leak. Later they shouted slogans against the BJP government and rushed to the well. As they began squatting on the floor of the House, Speaker Acharya said display of posters, shouting slogans are not permitted in the House. She ordered the sergeants to take the MLAs present in the well of the House outside.

As the chaos continued, the Speaker adjourned the House for 15 minutes. Earlier in the day, Congress MLAs staged a protest outside the assembly on the issue of the alleged paper leak.

On Sunday, aspirants across the state appeared for the forest guard recruitment exam around 12 pm. Hardly an hour into the exam, pictures of an answer key surfaced on social media. According to the police, one of the candidates at a centre in Mehsana was allegedly caught by the invigilator with an answer key paper. The centre was identified as Sarvodaya Vidyalaya in Unava village under Unjha tehsil.

The Mehsana police claimed that they have detained six people from the exam centre and claimed it to be a “copying” case rather than a paper leak.
