Rijiju accuses Cong of avoiding debate on anti-paper leak Bill, slams Rahul Gandhi’s ‘abusive’ language

NEW DELHI: (Jul 29) Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday accused opposition parties of trying to divert attention from the anti-paper leak Bill by talking about unrelated issues during the debate in the Lok Sabha.

Rijiju said opposition leaders were busy doing politics during the debate and that he hoped that Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi would speak on the Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, in the House on Wednesday.

A discussion on the Bill began in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, with the government describing it as a reaffirmation of its commitment to safeguard the welfare of students.
