Dipke Criticizes Anti-Paper Leak Bill, Warns of Further Protests
Abhijit Dipke, the president of the Cockroach Janta Party, spoke out against the new bill aimed at preventing paper leaks in exams.
He said that just passing laws isn't enough; people's attitudes need to change too.
Dipke was talking to reporters at an airport after spending over a month protesting against a big exam leak.
He warned that the government's recent actions, like the resignation of the Education Minister, won't stop the anger among students.
He threatened more protests if the government doesn't do more to help.
He also mentioned that students are still being harassed by police, which is making things worse.
Abhijit Dipke criticized the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, stating reforms alone are insufficient.
The bill introduces fast-track courts, up to 10 years' prison, and ₹50 lakh fines for paper leaks.
Dipke warned that the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan won't quell public anger.
He threatened further protests if the government fails to honor its assurances.
Dipke reported that students are still being harassed by police, despite recent developments.
