New Delhi, July 28 -- Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday criticised the opposition parties for not speaking on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, saying "they politicised the issue."

Speaking to reporters after Parliament was adjourned at midnight, Rijiju said, "We have just left Parliament at 12 AM... The opposition parties did not speak on the bill itself. They politicised the issue. In contrast, everyone from the NDA who spoke addressed the bill... NDA MPs participated very constructively.

However, the fact that Parliament continued late into the night is a positive thing..." ...
