'Students Want Justice, Not Charity': Priyanka Gandhi's Explosive Speech On Paper Leaks Rocks LS

Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra delivered a sharp speech in the Lok Sabha during the debate on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, raising concerns over repeated paper leaks, student protests, and the state of India's education system.She questioned the government's handling of the examination process, argued that the amendment bill lacks concrete measures to prevent future paper leaks, and said students have lost faith in the system. Referring to the protests, she asked who ordered the use of force against demonstrators and urged the government to restore the trust of the country's youth.Priyanka Gandhi also criticised the Centre's education policies, the implementation of reforms, and the functioning of the NTA. During her speech, she remarked that the Prime Minister should "change the angle of his heart, not the angle of the camera," a line that drew attention during the debate.The discussion later turned heated when Union Minister Kiren Rijiju objected to one of her remarks about the new Education Minister, calling it "character assassination" and demanding that it be removed from the parliamentary record.
