He said that Congress will intensify the movement if the government fails to complete the investigation on time.
Sukhu said that he has requested the Governor through a memorandum that the hon’ble governor should direct the government to get the notification of CBI investigation issued soon. The investigation of the paper leak case should be completed in 90 days. The culprits should be sent behind the bars before August 15. The masterminds of the paper leak can be brought to the fore only if the CBI investigation is done in a time-bound manner.
Sukhu also requested the Governor to instruct the ruling government to come up with strict laws and to award stern punishment and fines to those found guilty of paper leaking, paper theft and selling of paper.
“This will create fear among the people associated with the paper leak network. Life imprisonment should be awarded to those leaking and selling question papers” he said.
He also demanded to sack the officers and employees involved in this case.
