Resignation Done, Reforms Next? Anti-Paper Leak Bill Held Up Amid Fresh Flashpoint

Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned and the Jantar Mantar agitation has ended, but the fight over exam reforms is far from over. Even after the government tabled the Anti-Paper Leak Bill in Parliament, repeated Opposition protests forced adjournments in both Houses. The Opposition is now demanding a statement and apology from the Home Minister over allegations of excessive force during recent protests, including the pellet-gun incident in Delhi and the AK-47 firing controversy in Bihar. With discussion and voting on the Anti-Paper Leak Bill hanging in the balance, the key question is whether Parliament will focus on the reform law that sparked the movement-or the policing of the protests that followed.
