Parliament Introduces Anti-Paper Leak Bill Amid Opposition Protests and Scheduled Debate
The Indian government introduced the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, in the Lok Sabha to strengthen laws against exam paper leaks, proposing stricter punishments and fast-track courts. The bill's introduction followed nationwide student protests over the NEET paper leak and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Opposition parties protested police actions against demonstrators, leading to repeated adjournments and delays in debating the bill. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla facilitated consensus for a six-hour debate scheduled for July 28, with all major parties agreeing to participate.
