"We only have one demand": Khan Sir demands re-examination of BPSC prelims

Patna (Bihar) [India], February 18 (ANI): Educator and YouTuber Faizal Khan, popularly known as Khan Sir along with hundreds of Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) aspirants took to the streets and demanded re-examination of the 70th Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) prelims on Tuesday during protest march in Patna.

The aspirants have been protesting over their demand for the re-examination of the 70th BPSC preliminary test and alleged irregularities in the exam.
"We only have one demand - a re-exam. Nothing short of that will be acceptable," said Khan Sir while marching with the protesters.

The BPSC aspirants also marched in a protest on Monday.
Faizal Khan, popularly known as Khan Sir, who has been vocal about the alleged malpractice, addressed the gathering on Monday, claiming that there is substantial proof of a question paper leak, and it has also been submitted to the High Court.
Speaking to ANI, Khan Sir said, "We have evidence that question papers were changed on the instruction of Joint Secretary Kundan Kumar, especially in Khagaria and Bhagalpur. Question papers were stolen from the treasury in Nawada and Gaya. More students are going to come for the protest tomorrow. No one is allowing us to meet the Chief Minister. We request the officials to listen to our demands. We want a re-exam. If the leaders want to join us, they should come with their MLAs and MPs."
When asked if he is willing to join politics, he said, "If demanding re-exam is politics, then this is politics. We only demand re-examination. I am going to stay with the students until a re-exam is conducted. We have presented all the evidence to the High Court. Students are going to win."
The protests began after lakhs of candidates appeared for the BPSC exam across different centres in Bihar and raised concerns over the integrity of the process, alleging that the question papers had been leaked.
Later, on December 13, 2024, a protest started demanding an exam. Since then, it has gained momentum, with students marching in large numbers, pressing for the exam's cancellation and fresh conduct.
Earlier, Bihar Governor Arif Mohammad Khan met with a delegation of BPSC aspirants and heard their grievances, assuring them of issuing necessary instructions to relevant authorities.
The matter also reached the Supreme Court; however, the court refused to interfere and dismissed the plea that raised allegations regarding the BPSC preliminary examination. (ANI)
