BJP blasts Rahul Gandhi for misleading Parliament on exam paper‑leak law
During a Lok Sabha debate on the Lok Pariksha (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill 2026, BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra accused opposition leader Rahul Gandhi of misleading Parliament. Patra said Gandhi made false statements that security forces had fired on student protesters and that Home Minister Amit Shah had ordered the shooting, claims the party denied, noting that crowd‑control decisions are taken by local magistrates.
Patra also criticised Gandhi’s use of unparliamentary language such as “idiot” and “blind devotee,” describing it as disrespectful to students and the public. The BJP praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government for introducing the new law, which proposes stricter penalties for paper‑leak gangs and aims to make examinations more transparent and secure. The bill was presented in the Lok Sabha on 27 July by Minister Jitendra Singh, with BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj also highlighting the legislation as evidence of the Modi administration’s commitment to curb exam paper leaks.
The party framed the legislation as a revolutionary step needed to protect India’s merit‑based examination system and to dismantle a so‑called “exam mafia” operating across state borders.
