Govt to push anti-paper leak Bill even without debate if Opposition refuses discussion: Rijiju

The government will pass the Public Examinations Bill without discussion if the Opposition refuses participation. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla urged political parties to hold consultations for the debate. The Bill aims to strengthen legal frameworks against examination fraud with tougher penalties. Opposition parties demand detailed scrutiny by a committee before immediate discussion. They also insist on a statement regarding alleged student assault during protests.
