Rahul Gandhi Highlights Examination Paper Leaks and Calls for Education ReformPreviousNext

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized the prevalence of examination paper leaks in India, alleging that 7.5 crore students have been affected and no one has been punished despite 152 cases. Speaking at the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' rally in Dehradun, he claimed that a corrupt system enables a privileged few to access leaked papers at high prices using advanced technology, while honest students suffer.
