Shashi Tharoor questions anti-paper leak Bill: 'Success is not the number of people we send to prison'
Congress Member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor criticized the government's anti-paper leak bill, stating it fails to address the root causes of examination malpractices. During the Lok Sabha debate on The Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill-2026, he emphasized the need for comprehensive reforms in India's examination system rather than merely increasing punishments for leaks. Tharoor argued that success should be measured by preventing leaks and ensuring fair examinations for students, rather than the number of people imprisoned for violations.
