Noisy scenes in Punjab Assembly over paper leaks
During the Question Hour, Leader of the Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa raised the issue of alleged multiple examination paper leaks in Punjab over the last four-and-a-half years under the Aam Aadmi Party regime
On Monday, the Punjab Assembly erupted into disorder as opposition Congress MLAs accused the Union government of repeated paper leaks in examinations, leading to the suicide of 22 NEET candidates since 2014. In response, the state government proposed a censure motion via voice vote against the BJP-led Union government. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann highlighted the impact of these leaks on students' aspirations and called for stringent measures from the Centre to prevent such incidents and restore credibility to the education system.
The Congress demanded the resignation of Education Minister Harjot Bains and Health Minister Balbir Singh, citing the recent cheating scandal in pharmacy officer recruitment. The atmosphere turned tense, with Congress MLAs demanding resignations and briefly adjourning the session.
