The Lok Sabha resumed legislative work after several days of disruption in the Monsoon Session, taking up discussion on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026. The move brought the House back to formal business even as tensions between the government and the Opposition remained visible.
The government presented the anti-paper leak Bill as an important measure aimed at protecting students and strengthening the response to unfair means in public examinations. In its view, the proposed amendments are meant to address exam-related malpractice more effectively and reassure candidates affected by repeated concerns over test integrity.
Opposition parties, however, pushed back strongly during the debate. They argued that the legislation does not go far enough and questioned whether the changes would be sufficient to tackle the wider problem of paper leaks and examination fraud. Their criticism added to the sharp political clash that has marked recent proceedings in Parliament.
Even so, the discussion signaled a restart of legislative business in the Lok Sabha after the earlier deadlock. With the anti-paper leak amendment Bill now under debate, the issue of exam fairness and student protection has moved to the center of the House agenda.
