Parliament Erupts Over Tougher Anti-Paper Leak Bill

Parliament witnessed a fierce political showdown over the Public Examinations Amendment Bill, 2026, as the government and the Opposition clashed over exam paper leaks, student protests, and accountability. The government defended the proposed amendments as a step towards tougher punishment, faster investigations, and speedy trials, while accusing the previous UPA government of failing to curb paper leaks. The Opposition dismissed the bill as an "eyewash", raising concerns over alleged police excesses against protesting students. The debate continued late into the night and is set to resume, with Rahul Gandhi expected to address the House.
