"So, as a father figure, there is no way out for me but to be depressed over this. The exams were conducted successfully, and I am hopeful that the results will be good. The exams were over at 1:30 pm, while the question paper was circulated at around 2 pm. What is the value of a question paper after the exams are already over?" he asked.

The Assam CM spoke after donating blood at GMCH, saying, "I have instructed SEBA to allow candidates to take question papers home with them."

When media persons asked whether the paper leak was orchestrated by a racket, he said that it is someone among them who is behind the incident. This drives the youth away from the media, Sarma asserted.
