He spoke &#8220;wholeheartedly in support of the students of India&#8221; after BJP-pushed anti-paper leak Bill in Parliament.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>Chadha stressed that the paper leak crisis could only be resolved through an &#8220;institutional solution&#8221; and not through &#8220;media sound-bytes&#8221;, which he claimed was the approach adopted by the PM Modi-led government.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>Clarifying on his silence so far, BJP leader said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want headline, but an outcome.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Addressing NEET aspirants, he said, &#8220;Your anger is justified. Your pain is real. And your concerns about the examination system are genuine.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>He further said that when students raised their voices in protest, the Prime Minister listened and acted as a &#8220;guardian&#8221; to address their concerns.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>&#8220;Students demanded, the government acted. Historic decisions taken. System changed,&#8221; Chadha said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>He also said that the government &#8220;heard and delivered.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Highlighting the impact of paper leaks on students, he added, &#8220;Because a paper leak does not merely compromise an examination. It can wipe out years of preparation in a single moment.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>He further said, &#8220;Every student deserves an examination system where hard work and merit, not a leaked paper, decide the result.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Months ago, Chadha led a rebel exodus from Arvind Kejriwal-founded AAP, with seven Rajya Sabha members from the party breaking away and merging their faction with the ruling BJP.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>However, the Bill came under sharp criticism from the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha. <!-- -->Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge led the attack after Union minister Jitendra Singh tabled the Bill in the Upper House.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>Parliament Thursday approved the Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, introducing stricter penalties for paper leaks and exam-related malpractices. The government said the legislation addresses one of the biggest concerns affecting students and called for cooperation from all stakeholders to tackle the issue.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>The Bill was passed by a voice vote in the Rajya Sabha amid an opposition walkout, a day after it cleared the Lok Sabha.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>Under the amended law, individuals found guilty of paper leaks or other unfair means in public examinations will face a minimum prison term of five years, extendable to 10 years, along with a fine of up to Rs 50 lakh.<\/p>\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/>For organised exam-related crimes, the Bill prescribes a minimum jail term of seven years and a fine of up to Rs 10 crore.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"43\"\/>The legislation also empowers state governments and Union Territory administrations to designate Courts of Session as special fast-track courts to try offences under the Act.
