What happened
Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party leaders asked students not to let Opposition parties politicise the protest over examination paper leaks. Delhi BJP president and Union Minister of State Harsh Malhotra said the Opposition was trying to use the student movement for political gain.
Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood said the Modi government was committed to protecting students’ interests and ensuring accountability in the NEET paper leak case. The Delhi BJP also welcomed the decision to hold fast-track court trials for paper leaks and described the move as evidence of government reform.
Background and earlier position
Paper leaks have become a recurring governance issue because they damage trust in competitive examinations and create pressure for repeated tests, investigation, and court action. The BJP leaders said earlier governments did not take corrective measures in comparable leak episodes and accused the Opposition of raising the issue selectively after electoral setbacks.
