Punjab Assembly Clash Over Pharmacy Paper Leak
In Punjab’s state parliament, a big argument started because some people said a pharmacy exam paper was leaked.
The opposition party, the Congress, said the AAP government should fire the ministers who were involved.
The AAP ministers said they were ready to answer questions.
The debate got so loud that many Congress members left the room.
The AAP leaders said the Congress was just making a political point.
After the walk‑out, the AAP talked about other exam problems in India and promised new buses for the state’s public transport.
The whole day showed how the two parties fight over exam fairness and government honesty.
Punjab Assembly’s monsoon session opened with a dispute over a pharmacy exam paper leak.
Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa demanded resignations of AAP ministers, citing repeated leak cases.
AAP ministers Harjot Singh Bains, Balbir Singh, Harpal Singh Cheema, and Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal defended the government and accused Congress of political theatrics.
Congress legislators walked out, accusing the government of avoiding direct discussion on the leak.
The session also covered NEET exam protests, Akal Takht directives, and new bus induction plans.
