The BJP leader also pledged to conduct CBI and SIT probes into the cases of ‘paper leak’.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Tuesday thanked the central government for the decision of conducting the SSC MTS and CHSLE examinations in 13 regional languages.
This comes days after the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) chief wrote to Union Home Minister Amit Shah seeking his intervention on Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) recruitment examination. On April 9, Stalin wrote to Shah complaining about the 25 per cent marks allocated for the ‘Basic Hindi Understanding’ section in the exam. He had then urged that Tamil and other regional languages should also be included in the exam.
Taking to Twitter, MK Stalin said, “In light of my request to Hon @AmitShah last week and persistent demands from different states, @DoPTGoI has decided to hold SSC MTS and CHSLE Exams in 13 state languages. I thank Hon @DrJitendraSingh for this step and hope it’ll be extended to all the exams conducted by Union Govt”.
