Parliament clears a stricter anti–paper leak bill after Opposition members walk out of the Rajya Sabha, according to reports from multiple outlets. The bill is aimed at tightening rules and penalties related to paper leaks, including leaks involving examinations and similar recruitment or selection processes. Coverage notes that the Opposition’s absence from the upper house occurs during the legislative consideration, and that the government proceeds with the bill’s passage despite the walkout. After the walkout, lawmakers present in the Rajya Sabha vote to pass the measure, moving it forward through the legislative process. While sources emphasize the walkout and the bill’s passage, they generally describe the core objective as reducing paper leaks by strengthening legal provisions and accountability. The reports do not indicate that the Opposition’s specific objections change the outcome, but they frame the walkout as a protest or procedural disagreement during the session. The bill’s final effect will depend on the remaining formal steps in the legislative process following its clearance in Parliament’s upper house.
