Punjab CM Denies Paper Leak Allegations
Punjab's Chief Minister, Bhagwant Mann, has strongly denied allegations of paper leaks in the state's medical examinations.
He claims that the opposition parties, including the BJP, Congress, and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), are making false allegations to defame Punjabis for political gains.
Mann emphasized that his government has provided 69,000 government jobs based on merit without any corruption.
He also mentioned that a recent incident of cheating during a pharmacy examination was quickly detected and stopped, with arrests made.
The opposition parties, however, continue to demand the resignation of the education minister, alleging paper leaks.
The Chief Minister advised them to focus on their own issues rather than making false accusations.
