Unable to clear his exams despite repeated attempts, a CA final student has now decided to get married and move on with his life. However being an ardent member of Aam Admi Party he has decided to approach the public for opinion on whether to get married or not.
On being asked to comment on this he said:
“Some people say I should get married and some people say I should not get married, I do not want to be seen as running away from responsibilities. I don't believe in taking decisions in closed room meetings. I want to ask the people to decide for me. I am only following my party’s ideology, in my AAP party, we are of, by and for the people. I would abide by whatever the people decide for me. It is advice of the people that shall hold supreme for me in decision making on this or any other issue.”
Taking note of the developments Dr Yogendra Yadav said “In the history of democracy in this country, the student has set a new precedent by letting the voice of the people to decide in a democratic fashion on the future of his marital life creating a paradigm shift in social structure of this country”. However he demanded that the raw data & statistical method employed in the referendum process to be made public and put on the website.
The AAP in an official statement
called it as a move
from archaic 20th century system of marriage to a new 21st century democratic
and participatory system of marriage.
On being asked to comment Mr Rahul Gandhi quipped "I am going to make sure that similar referendum happens in my marriage also, and I will do it in ways in which you cannot even imagine. I will involve people and my party in a way you cannot even imagine right now," he reiterated.
The VHP and RSS has dubbed this as an attack on institution of marriage in India and BJP President Rajnath Singh said “this is western culture and against Indian tradition and Indian culture it cannot be allowed here”

Arnab Goswami in News Hour in a
furious debate announced "Major Blow to CA Institute as student seeks
referendum, The Nation wants answers.
Will the President of ICAI own up the guilt now? How long will he
hoodwink the nation?”
Manish Tiwari on being asked to
respond commented “Allow me to respond.
First of all, the student hails from a congress ruled state, he resides
in another congress ruled state (where referendum is being conducted) and BJP
is now taking credit for this as well.
The congress party has built tradition of democracy for last 120 years. This has resulted in student following path
of democracy both in public and in personal life”.
Bhahujan Samajwadi party leader
Mayawati commented on the developments as follows “Sons and Daughters of Dalits
have always been attacked, humiliated and treated with prejudice, I demand a
CBI probe into this entire incident. Why
is Dalit being attacked for seeking public response? I also demand that CBI probe the examination
system of ICAI. It is impossible for anyone
to fail 10 successive attempts in CA Final or any exam except if he happens to
be a Dalit”
Meena Kandaswamy, a Dalit human
rights activist condemned the CA institute for not holding separate
examinations for SC/ST and other castes and not having separate pass
percentages as well.
A questionnaire sent by us to the
institute went unanswered but a source inside who does not want to be named said
“Expert Advisory Committee has been setup to study this matter in detail and to
see if there is any violation of CA act”
