Bhubaneswar: The
effigies of Odisha School and Mass Education Minister Pratap Jena
were burnt by students and activists Thursday, protesting the leak
of state board Class 10 examination results several hours before
they were declared.
While members of the opposition Congress, the Bharatiya Janata
Party and Left parties staged separate protest demonstrations in
the state capital Bhubaneswar, activists of the All India
Democratic Students Organisation (AIDSO) set fire to an effigy of
the minister at Cuttack, about 26 km from here.
The minister's effigies were also burnt by activists in the state
capital.
The state Board of Secondary Education (BSE) was scheduled to
declare the results at 9 a.m Thursday.
The names of the top 110 students were, however, found posted on
social networking site Facebook Wednesday night, hours before the
results were to be declared.
The posting was found to be correct when the results were
announced Thursday morning, causing embarrassment for the board as
well as the government.
"It was not leaked. The results were stolen. A probe would be
conducted," board president Satyakam Mishra told media persons.
The minister said he had asked the board to investigate and submit
a report.
"Appropriate steps would be taken in the matter," Jena told media
persons.
