Akhilash Yadav slams anti-paper leak bill, says PM saved himself

During a heated debate on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, Socialist Party MP Akhilash Yadav attacked the Union government. He argued that merely amending a law will not fix the recurring paper‑leak problem and called for a complete overhaul of the examination system. Yadav cited ten paper‑leak incidents in the past decade under the BJP‑led government and claimed the recent resignation of former Education Minister Dharmendra Prasad was forced by massive student pressure. He mocked the government’s claim of “no compromise”, noting that the removal of a key minister gave Prime Minister Narendra Modi a political reprieve. Yadav warned that without transparent reforms, the bill would be a cosmetic fix that fails to protect the integrity of India's examinations.
