During a scheduled Lok Sabha session, members will deliberate on a bill designed to curb the leaking of examination papers. Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders will voice concerns, while senior ministers such as Anurag Thakur will defend the government's approach. The legislation modifies the Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024, introducing stricter punishments including up to ten years in jail and hefty fines. A special fast‑track court system is envisaged to resolve cases within ninety days, reflecting the government’s intent to protect the integrity of the education system after weeks of nationwide protests.
