Political tensions intensified outside Parliament as NDA and opposition parties held separate demonstrations over the ongoing paper leak controversy and alleged action against protesting students. The competing protests highlighted the widening political battle over examination security, accountability, and student rights. NDA MPs, led by BJP members, staged a protest at the Parliament premises targeting the Punjab government and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal. The demonstration was linked to allegations of irregularities in an examination conducted in Punjab on July 19. BJP leaders demanded accountability from the state government and raised slogans calling for an end to paper leaks while seeking the resignation of Punjab’s Education Minister. The BJP MPs accused the Punjab government of failing to ensure transparency in the examination process and questioned the leadership’s response to the allegations. The protest added a new political dimension to the larger debate over paper leak cases across the country. Meanwhile, opposition parties continued their protest over the alleged use of force against students during demonstrations related to examination irregularities. Samajwadi Party MPs staged a protest inside the Parliament complex, with party leaders including Akhilesh Yadav and Professor Ram Gopal Yadav participating. The party questioned the action taken against students and demanded answers over allegations of police excesses during protests.
