Perjury is blatant contempt.

"What began as one student's viral complaint about a mismatch between the physical and digital copies of his Grade 12 physics has snowballed into a major controversy."  "Called on-screen marking system (OSM), the system works by scanning physical copies of answer-sheets and uploading them on an online portal for teachers to evaluate. A software then calculates total marks in each exam." BBC. "The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has admitted to discrepancies in the evaluation of Class 12 answer sheets and said marks will be revised in two cases after a student's viral social media post exposed an apparent Physics answer sheets mix-up during the re-evaluation process." India Today. Where there are two cases there could be two thousand or even two million. If it wasn't for social media they might have covered up their goof-up. No wonder, India has one of the highest internet censorship in the world. wikipedia. Class 12 results are most important because admissions to prestigious colleges may depend on them and children's lives, their careers and lifetime earnings damaged permanently. "When Vedant Srivastava, a Class 12 student from Delhi, posted about his CBSE Physics paper mix-up on X, he probably did not expect a senior journalist to accuse him of being Pakistani." When Ashok Shrivastav, anchor of Doordarshan News saw Vedant's post on X was from South Asia, he remarked sarcastically, "Did Pakistanis also appear for CBSE exams.?" He later apologized. The Wire. Vedant was abused as 'anti-national Soros agent' and a 'Pakistani' online (TOI), probably by the lobotomized supporters of the BJP. In May, "the National Eligibility Entrance Test (Undergraduate), known as NEET-UG - has been at the center of a controversy this year following allegations that the question paper was leaked." Following which, "the National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts the exam, canceled the test that took place on 3 May." BBC. Months and years of hard preparation wasted. All Pakistanis? Two days ago, "At least six people were killed and eight others injured after a four-storey building, housing a mess and paying guest accommodation, collapsed in South Delhi's Saidulajab area near Saket Metro Station." HT. Apparently, "The Delhi Police had written to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on two occasions in March about ongoing illegal construction atop the four-storey building near Saket Metro station that collapsed." TIE. When local resident Sakir Ahmed filed a case in Delhi High Court against the illegal construction, "MCD's counsel Roshan Lal Goel submitted that 'no construction whatsoever is going on in the subject property'." The Print. It is probably only in India that lawyers are able to get away with blatant perjury in courts without any punishment. At the very least, judges should react with severity to this egregious contempt of court. Illegal construction is rampant all over Delhi, a lucrative source of bribes. Speaking in Kerala, Vice President CP Radhakrishnan asked for "constructive journalism" to "strengthen public confidence" and warned the media that "Positive activities should be reported well. Only then will youngsters receive the right information. Otherwise, they will lose interest and end up following the 'cockroach'." HT. In short, brainwash youngsters and create a nation of deluded Bhakts (DH) who will applaud on cue like robots while working in subsistence level gig jobs after years in higher education. "Nearly 40% of graduates aged 15-25 - and 20% of those aged 25-29 - are unemployed." BBC. How should "constructive journalism" report leaked question papers destroying lives and collapsing buildings taking lives to "strengthen public confidence"? Call them Pakistanis and Soros agents. Creating a nation of imbeciles. That sure will "strengthen public confidence". Confidently brainless.
