Madurai MP Su. Venkatesan has sought the intervention of Union Finance Minister Nirmla Sitharaman in the issue of “discrimination” in CMA (Inter) examination between Hindi medium candidates and the others.
He also wanted the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) to withdraw its circular threatening punitive action against candidates for airing their grievances on this issue in social media. In a memorandum, the MP said while Hindi medium candidates had the option to make answers for Sections B, C and D in physical answer sheet by writing,non-Hindi medium students had to type them.
