India student protest and paper‑leak bill

Entities: Rashtriya Janata Dal · Amit Shah · Parliament of India · Indian Government · Indian Parliament

Overview

The student unrest that began with the July 20 clash at Jantar Mantar continued to shape parliamentary proceedings on 27 July 2026. Former Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who had resigned amid accusations of exam‑paper leaks, entered the Parliament building for the first time since his resignation. At the Makar Dwar entrance, NDA and BJP MPs greeted him with chants of “Dharmendra Pradhan Zindabad”, presented a traditional cap and shawl, and escorted him inside.

Simultaneously, opposition deputies—including Congress’s Priyanka Gandhi Vadra—staged a protest at the same gateway, demanding accountability from Home Minister Amit Shah and denouncing the alleged paper‑leak scandal with slogans such as “Paper Chor” and “Shiksha Chori”. Their disruption halted the opening of the monsoon session, forcing an adjournment of both houses until noon. A Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, intended to tighten the paper‑leak law, was slated for introduction around 12 pm but was delayed by the turbulence.
