NEW DELHI: The Congress party has lined up top leaders, including Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, KC Venugopal, and Gaurav Gogoi, to address the Lok Sabha here on Tuesday on ‘The Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026’, according to INDIA bloc sources. The Lok Sabha is likely to begin the debate on the anti-paper leak Bill at 2 PM.
While signalling a readiness to participate in parliamentary deliberations over the anti-paper leak legislation, the Opposition underscored that its participation remains contingent on central assurances regarding recent law enforcement action against protesting students.
“We are neither against the paper leak bill nor discussion on it; we fully support any move to strengthen exams, but we need an answer on pellet guns and excessive use of force against protesting students,” an INDIA bloc source stated.
The stance indicates a willing yet conditional approach from opposition ranks to engage in the debate, provided the government addresses safety and accountability concerns surrounding student demonstrations.
The discussion follows Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla’s allocation of dedicated parliamentary time to deliberate on the proposed legislation aimed at curbing examination malpractices nationwide.
