Punjab Protest Over Pharmacy Exam Paper Leak Allegations

Charanjit Singh Channi, who used to be the chief minister of Punjab, organized a protest in Faridkot to complain that the new government, led by Bhagwant Mann, let exam papers for a pharmacy job leak.

He and other Congress members said a cheating group was found in the exam.

Channi did not go to a speech by Rahul Gandhi in Parliament, choosing instead to be at the protest.

The new chief minister said no papers were leaked and that the accusations were false.

Police had already caught a cheating ring that used hidden cameras and paid people to cheat.

The protest shows the opposition is unhappy with the AAP government.

The government says it has kept exams fair.

The police action shows they are trying to stop cheating.

The whole thing is part of the politics in Punjab ahead of elections.
