KATHMANDU: Province 2 Chief Minister Lalbabu Raut told THT that the federal government was responsible for the leak of SEE question papers, as the entire examination process — from preparation of questions papers to deployment of employees — was being handled by the federal government. “The federal government should immediately sack Education Minister Giri Raj Mani Pokharel and punish those responsible for the leak,” he said. Raut added that education mafia could have leaked the question papers. “It can also be an attempt to defame Province 2 government,” he added.
