Punjab Assembly Monsoon Session Begins Amid Opposition Protests Over Exam Leak
The Punjab Assembly's Monsoon session, running until August 10, is expected to be contentious as opposition parties Congress and BJP plan to challenge the AAP government on issues including law and order, outstanding debt, and an alleged pharmacist exam paper leak. Congress MLAs protested by marching in black robes, demanding resignations of two ministers and boycotting Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. The government will also introduce a bill to regulate private school fees, benefiting over 32 lakh students across Punjab.
