AAP Holds Statewide Protests in Punjab Over Examination Paper LeaksPreviousNext

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) organized statewide protests in Punjab against the BJP, focusing on alleged examination paper leaks, including NEET. Demonstrators, including party leaders, beat steel plates to express opposition to the Central government's policies and demanded accountability, including the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who later resigned. AAP framed the protests as support for students and criticized the BJP's approach to education, aiming to engage youth ahead of upcoming state elections.
