In light of the CBSE paper leaks, Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia Friday wrote to Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Prakash Javadekar asking him to convene a “brainstorming” session of all education ministers in the country to discuss how to “strengthen” the examination system so that such incidents are not repeated.

“I am writing to you against the backdrop of the extremely serious issue of the (paper) leak… While the two examinations have been cancelled and re-tests have been ordered, there have been concerns regarding leaks of several other exam papers as well,” he wrote.
