India, Aug. 4 -- Standing firmly with Gen Z and raising its voice against what it termed as atrocities on the country's youth, the Punjab Vidhan Sabha on Monday passed a Censure Motion by voice vote against repeated paper leaks across the country. Winding up the debate on the motion and later addressing the media, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said repeated paper leaks under the BJP-led Union government had shattered the aspirations of crores of students, while those seeking justice were met with tear gas shells, pellet guns and police action instead of accountability. The Chief Minister announced that the Punjab government would forward the Censure Motion to the Prime Minister's Office, the Union Ministry of Education and the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, urging the Centre to take stringent measures to prevent paper leaks and restore the credibility of the country's education system. Congress, however, walked out of the House during the debate on the motion. Addressing the Vidhan Sabha on Censure Motion against the repeated paper leaks in the country, CM Mann stated said, "Those who have been claiming to make the country a Vishwaguru have made a mockery of the education system by failing to check the repeated paper leaks across the country. Paper leaks, or in other words the selling of examination papers, shatter the dreams of the aspirants. A reflection of this is that 22 candidates of the NEET examination committed suicide. From 2014, ever since the BJP regime assumed charge of office, 93 paper leaks have taken place in the country."
