Rahul Gandhi tears into Centre's anti-paper leak bill, calls it a band-aid when 'students need surgery'

Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday dismissed the anti-paper leak amendment bill as an inadequate response to the recurring examination paper leak crisis, arguing that the legislation fails to address the structural flaws in India's examination system. The bill was passed by the Lok Sabha earlier in the day.

Addressing a press conference, Gandhi said the proposed law was "like a band-aid" when



students were demanding a complete overhaul of the examination system.

He also questioned the government's emphasis on harsher punishments, pointing out that no one had been convicted under the existing law. Gandhi further accused Home Minister Amit Shah of avoiding the debate in Parliament because he was "guilty" and unable to answer questions over the police action against students protesting in Delhi.
