Opposition Leaders Demand Punjab Education Minister's Resignation Over Paper Leaks

Political leaders from multiple parties are demanding the immediate resignation of Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains following a series of examination paper leaks. The Shiromani Akali Dal cited six specific leaks, including the Class 12 English exam and the Punjab Teacher Eligibility Test, which impacted hundreds of thousands of aspirants.

Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring alleged that the government has failed to provide accountability while recruitment tests were compromised, leaving the future of thousands of students at risk. Delhi Cabinet Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa accused the Aam Aadmi Party of adopting double standards, claiming the party's leaders previously advocated for ministerial resignations in the event of leaks but are now shielding Bains.
